Re: Points/Ballast Resistor Gurus Needed!

[John deVries <corneliusdevries@xxxxxxxxx>]

Are you getting voltage to the ballast resistor when key is in the run position. If you have voltage is it coming out the distributor side of the ballast. If no voltage on the key side check ignition switch and other wiring. If no voltage on the distributor side replace ballast resistor.
