What ballast resistor u using?

[lenky1]

Just curious what brand ballast resistor you guys and gals are using. Need to get a new one for my 71 318 duster.

@halifaxhops has some good ones. Most of the new electrical parts are not good.

Cheap easy to replace buy a few and have a spare.

Run an electronic distributor fired by an HEI 4 pin, connect the 2 ballast wires together, and never look back

I would ask Halifaxhops, too. I bought one of his original, non chinesium electronic spark boxes. I feel good for spending the money. He also rebuilds original points distributors, too.

I found one at Summit that matched the ohms on my current resistor.

None, deleted it

Thanks. The ballast resistors I have been looking into, seems 1 ohm is what everyone is using but if you go into the FSM they usually call out 0.5-0.6 ohms. Not saying the 1 ohm is bad but it will keep the voltage a bit ow. Just FYI. I know I have run 1 ohms all the time also.

I got mine through rock auto Chinese made no issues but I do have a couple spares in the glove box
