Re: Ballast Resistor vs. Resistor Wire - 67 250

I had the same symptoms with my 74. I had pertronix and hei in this truck but I like to keep the points in a 6 cyl I found my resistor wire exposed and corroded in a few places. I replaced the resistor wire right from the bulkhead with a 14 or 12 I think and run to a ceramic resistor on the firewall. Also wired to the starter like stock. Definitely starts and idles way better. It was a Chrysler application and I want to say 1.6 or 1.8 ohm. It was 12$ compared to 6-12$ a foot for the resistor wire for 6 or 8 feet.
