Re: Ballast Resistor vs. Resistor Wire - 67 250

I do not see a ballast resistor on my firewall but I do have a cluster of wires emerging from a square black box right next to the choke cable.
I changed out the points, condensor, cap, rotor, and plugs, but no spark. Auto parts guy suggested replacing the resistor first and then the coil, but I don't seem to have a resistor. Could the resistor wire be bad, if in fact that's what I have?
Any advice appreciated!

Did you adjust the points gap when you installed them or just put them in and tightened down the screw? What gap setting did you use?
