[Chrysler300] 6-Volt Ballast Resistor

[Rich Barber <barber@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks to all that responded confirming my suspicions that a ballast 
resistor is not needed on a 6-Volt system.  Ballast resistors are used 
to minimize ignition point burning on 12-Volt cars and many (most?  
all?) 12-volt systems are wired up to provide the full 12 Volts to the 
coil while cranking/starting, then revert to the lower voltage on the 
output of the resistor.  It is a fairly crude, but effective, system.

I'll try to remember not to take e-bay automotive engineering too seriously.
