Ballast resistor is broken...

I must live wrong. Of course nowadays I run an HEI module, and NO ballast, but I don't think I've replaced more than about 4 of the things in my entire lifetime. To put that timewarp into a proper frame, I first put a Mopar breakerless system on the old 70 WAY back around 73 or so. Someone had one on their car, had trouble with it, and wanted my help to hook up a Mallory DUAL POINT, and wanted "all that crap" off their car.

so I happily put my own dual point in the trunk, and hooked up the entire breakerless system on mine!!!

I think I replaced one ballast after that one, the system was on the car when it got sold around 75-76

About the same time, I put a 360, later 340 in my 62 Landcruiser, and again adapted a junk--yard Mopar ECU harness. I DID have trouble, the ECU's do not like getting wet. I later used a plug in MSD box for awhile, but mounted it under the dash of the FJ-40

1 spare ballast should be plenty. If it is not you are doing something wrong, like, maybe, leaving the key on when stopped. "Car washing" the engine doesn't do 'em any good.

Of course I DO admit that modern replacement parts ain't what they used to be. Standard, NAPA/ Echlin and others should be hanging their heads in shame. You know damn well that Waltrip doesn't use this crap on HIS car
