Ign resistor rating

Post by texrodder »

Does anyone know what the resistor rating is(ex-1.5k ,1/2 watt)etc for 67 ign circuit.I am thinking around 1.4k cant remember the wattage though.Gotta install one on my 67 since the previous owner bypassed the factory wire without running a resistor,Einstein huh.

Did the PO have a Pertronix II installed? If not and the resistor is bypassed, I'd go ahead and drop one of those puppies in and not worry about it... :2cents:

You can actually buy a replacement resistor wire from the parts store... http://www.partsamerica.com/ProductDeta ... 05&PTSet=A
Or get a universal Ballast Resistor. http://www.partsamerica.com/ProductDeta ... ber=AL125K

Here is a big selection http://store.summitracing.com/egnsearch ... XID=100010 but the one for a ford is the same as I listed above... http://store.summitracing.com/egnsearch ... 4294908331

These Resistors are very high wattage which is why they look - are made like they are, a standard type resistor wont work for this...

Hope this helps...
