Maybe dumb ballist question

If i'm not mistaken the duel ballast was used on the 5 wire ECUs. one resister fed the ecu and the other fed the coil. Newer ECUs use only 4 wires and do not need the duel ballast so there might be jumpers here or there if the ECU was replaced at some time.
Yes has crome one..guess he just never had the extra cranking volts to the coil on start up.... Also has no electronics for choke ..lol..
