I have a stupid question.
Hello
I am trying to find the factory location where the ballast resister would be. I can’t find it. This is a factory V8 car three speed with AC. This is driving me crazy I can’t find it. Does anyone have a picture to share? I would follow the wires if most hadn’t been chewed apart by mice. Oddly enough the radiator hose has been completely chewed apart.  Thanks Pete |

Re: I have a stupid question.
You'd probably get a quicker response in the electrical forum. Sometimes the resistor is in the form of a wire. What car?

Re: I have a stupid question.
yes, usually a points dizzy Chevy of 60s had a resistance wire from ignition to coil.

Re: I have a stupid question.
Follow the yellow wire from the starter "R" terminal up to the coil "+" side. There is another wire attached to it, coming from the ignition switch. That will be the factory resistance wire.

from the starter "R" terminal, or did the little buggers eat that, too?

Re: I have a stupid question.
On my 62, the wire from the key switch to the firewall connector was just a regular wire and from the engine side of the connector to the distributor was the cloth covered "resistance wire". The wire was doubled over and taped in the center which I think was how they "adjusted" the resistance (by getting a precise length).
