I'm a real exciting guy...I get down on real compellin' topics like Broads, Booze & Ballast Resistors.
Anyway, Here's my main question:
Is there a benefit of switching from a 4-Prong B/Res, to a 2-Prong (or vice versa)?
I ask because I've got 2 small block vehicles, both w/ the Orange Box ECU (retro-fits). One is a 1969 D-100 Pickup & the other is a 1968 Dart.
The Electronic Ignitions are pretty much identical, but the Dart (for some reason, I can't remember why) has a 4-Prong B/Res, the D-100 has a 2-Prong B/Res.
The D-100 always seems to start & run smoother. Now, I know that I haven't given a load of info, plus there are differences in the two vehicles that may have implications outside the scope of the mightey Ballast Resistor, but if all things were equal, would the difference in B/Res' make a difference in performance?
Thanks.
