Tim, I don't mean to be disrespectful.

Didn't I give you a part number and sources for a replacement for this just a couple of days ago? :?

Were the prices from those dealers totally outrageous, or what???? :?

Just get the right one and move on!!!

That's not an oil leak :nono: That's SWEAT from all that HORSEPOWER!! :thup:

I fired off emails to Green Sales, Miller Obsolete Parts, Sanderson Ford, and Collectors Auto Supply. I have only heard from Miller so far, and they want $35 plus shipping. :o

Im temped to just order one for a 73 up from NPD.

Good evening Tim,

The resistor from my 1972 F250 (which was working well when installed) has two coils (resistors) on it: a fat one and a skinny one. Naturally, the fat one puts up less resistance to current than the skinny one does.

The fat one: 1.6 Ohms
The skinny one: 2.3 Ohms
