[Chrysler300] Ballast Resistor on 6-Volt system?

[Rich Barber <barber@xxxxxxxxx>]

An e-bay item

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1,1&item=4548944522&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT 


is described as follows: 

This is a real tough one to find. One year only 6V ignition coil ballast 
resistor for 1955 Chrysler and Imperial cars. If you want original parts 
for your 300 restoration, this is what was used. Autolite 32-6 or 
PU-4004. Needs cleaning, insulation on black wire flaking off. Can 
replace if you wish.

I can't find any reference to a ballast resistor on my 1955 6-Volt C300 
ignition system, but I am willing to learn.  Can anyone confirm the need 
for, presence and appropriate connections for a ballast resistor on a 
6-Volt ignition system?  Perhaps it is for the 12-Volt Imperials, only???

C-300'ly,
