ballast resistor question

Here's the basic wiring. The wiring from the key, through the ballast, to the coil is the same. What is not shown is the coil resistor bypass circuit going to the + side of the coil. So what is added is the power wire going to the ECU. In fact, if the ECU ever goes bad, you can just stick your points dist. back in there, unplug the ECU, and simply hook the points wire right back up to the coil NEG terminal on the side of the highway


Good advice with the roadside fix Del :cheers:

BIG hint: get two ballasts put them in your glove box. the first time you get a no start just swap out the one under the hood. heat and cold will cause this most of the time.

More good advice. Ya can never have too many electrical spares!!
