How do I Wire a Ballast Resistor & Coil? | It Still RunsStrip 1/2 inch of insulation from the end of the wire and crimp on a ring terminal. Connect it to the ignition terminal of the ignition switch. Route the other end of the wire to one terminal of the ballast resistor. Cut the wire, strip 1/2 inch of insulation and crimp on a terminal. Connect to the ballast resistor.
ballast resistor wiring 03-27-12 06:56 PM - Post# 2208264 I just finished the 6 to 12 volt conversion on my 54 chevy. Everything seems to work fine, but after a few minuets the ballast resistor starts to smoke.
Wiring Diagram Ballast Resistor Ignition Coil Mopar Ballast Resistor Wiring Diagram Basic Electronics Wiring Diagram I am planning to replace the distributor with a mallory unilite pointless distributor the instructions emphasize the necessity of either a ballast resistor or a loom resistance wire between the ignition switch and the coil.

Mallory Unilite Distributor Installation InstructionsFIGURE 1 UNILITE® WIRING DIAGRAM USING BALLAST RESISTOR NOTE: The purpose of an ignition ballast resistor between the ignition switch (12V) and the ignition coil positive terminal is to restrict current flow through the ignition coil. Failure to use an ignition ballast resistor will eventually destroy the Ignition Module.
1965 Impala 283 Ballast Resistor Help Neeed: I Have a 1965 ...Please reread my first post I explain how it is wired. Wire to starter solenoid MUST be on "R" terminal. The pruple wire from ignition for starting is on the "S" terminal. Remove brown wire from coil + key in run what is voltage?If @8V then do not need ballast resistor other wire on coil + remove check voltage in key start position should be 12v.
How to wire midThe following diagram shows the 5 pin box with dual ballast resistor; “Start” is only hot (+12V DC) during cranking, and “run” is hot (+12V DC) from the moment you turn the key on, through crank, and after crank. (Note: Pat Conners wrote that wires 2 and 3 should go where 4 and 5 are, and vice versa. We'll check on this.)
Chevy 350 Cranks but No Start Problem On a stock Chevy big-cap HEI installation, No. 1 is usually the second wire terminal clockwise from the rectangular part of the coil cover sticking out of the housing where the external wires hook up.
Technical Technical Chevy ignition question, ballast resistor or not. ... I'm assuming they mean a ballast resistor. I have looked up wiring diagrams online, and haven't seen any with a ballast resistor on the diagram. I don't know if it has a "primary resistance wire". It has some wires that are melted, and a new wire harness is in the plans ahead.
