Well until today I had never had a ballast resistor fail in 30 years of driving old mopars. It was on my 68 D100 and happened at the bottom of my driveway. Had to go swipe on off a 70 dart sitting behind the garage.
 
Congrats and welcome to the club. Now you understand the wisdom of carrying a spare in the glovebox...
 
I have been in them for 40 years and only had one go bad on my 68 Barracuda.
 
I had a 1971 340 Cuda in 1975, that's the only car I ever had a ballast resistor failure in.
 
My D100 still has points in it and I'm going to upgrade to electronic soon. Was going to do the hei module and do away with the resistor all together.
