No. It was not. Too much assumin' goin' on, although I do appreciate the intent.
I did not include particulars for a reason. The year (in my signature...which I understand some/most/all fones don't show), the ignition type...none of that is pertinent. No attempt on my part to be smarmy or obstruse about it. I left out the 'all about it' part because my question concerns only the terminal and the body it fits into. I mentioned the ballast only to indicate which terminal I was asking about. Nothing about Ohm's law, heat in a ballast, etc has anything to do with that question.
