Hi Daniel,
These low ohm resisters pass higher voltage when they are cold. As soon
as they get up to full temp, they allow lower voltage through. It's a
simple, primitive way of limiting voltage. Unfortunately, they sometimes
warm up all the way before the engine is started! It's a simple system
that has been in use since the 30's that I'm aware of. Keep in mind that
these LBC we are dealing with are state of the art 30's and 40's designs.
There is little high tech stuff on them other than the driver, and that,
at times, might be a debatable point!
