[oletrucks] Voltage Dropping Resistors

["Brad Rusnak" <b_rusnak@telusplanet.net>]

It appears that I don't have any voltage dropping resistors on my converted
6 volt to 12 volt truck.
The only thing that I am sure that works are the headlights.
A local shop suggested using a ballast resistor from an early 70s Chrysler.
These are approximately 1.8 ohm and cost about $10.00 Canadian.
Does anyone know what the correct resistance and wattage is for one of these
resistors?
