New to site, new to Mopar overheating issues
The ignition 1 circuit is also called the run circuit. The wires are only 16 and 18 ga. Not really big enough to be carrying more load.
FYI The grommet above the regulator has the hoses for the foot operated windshield washer.
The ballast resistor reduces the voltage to the points and coil when the car is running. So instead of drawing power at 14 Volts, they see something closer to 9 volts - the exact reduction depending on the current and the temperature.
Alternator doesn't have a resistor. It's a little confusing at first look because the 'ignition' circuit powers both the ignition and the alternator's rotor.
