Re: [Chrysler300] Ballast Resistor on 6-Volt system?

[Gary Barker <gbarker@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Rich,         I agree,   They would not use a resistor on a 6 volt 
system.  Only from past experiences.   My factory manual does not show 
it under specifications, or the wiring diagram  in my 1955 factory 
manual    
 So I looked at some of my old tune up manuals back to 1951 and it shows 
(Not Required )  under 6 volt systems for Chry.& Imperial  1951-1955.    
Then shows a need for a resistor for 1953-1955 with 12 volt system.( 
Sorenson # AL-150 )   So some where Chrysler used a 12 volt on something 
back to 1953.        Thats my Contribution-   Gary Barker
