    ballast resistor
    « on: July 06, 2015 - 02:12:15 AM »
    On a 1970 Barracuda with a 440 six Pac, where is the correct place for the ballast resistor to be screwed to the fire wall? Also, some are two prong and some four ? Which one is correct ? Thanks

    If you want correct you need a two prong ballast with a metal bracket, the ones with no bracket & the bolt hole through the porcelain body came out around 76... The ballast mounts beside the wiper motor, photo attached...

    yes, but the electronic ignition isn't sock either so how much effort do you put into a stock ballast?
