Larry,
I can only help with your last question. I'm guessing your resistor is
there for the same reason mine is: the car's resistance wire
failed/burned up/shorted out/etc...... We had a thread on the MGs list
on this not too long ago and some other listers had the resistor too and
wondered about it. It's actually a Chrysler part, but it works. My car
was burning up coils like crazy until I put it in (thanks to my local
club's tech advisor). Never a problem since.

Don't assume that because you have found one problem, you have found the
ONLY problem.
