- I've purchased a Pertronix Ignitor II for my '79 B and broke out the instructions last night. They recommend that the ignition ballast be bypassed. I'm pretty sure my ignition was ballasted from the

- That's the ballast. The top wire, I believe should just go to the coil. So, you can just pull the bottom one and put it on the coil. But then you need a different coil. You did get a non-ballasted co

- The ballast resistance (and 6v coil fitted to all RB cars) is a length of pink (usually) resistance wire contained within the loom, white/brown at the fusebox end and white/light-green at the coil en

- I thought that metallic ribbed thingy was something to do with the stock electronic ignition installed in the later cars. Although it looks like a ballast resistor, it isn't. I know I read what it w

- The early 45DE4 electronic distributor did have an additional resistor for the electronics physically located near the distributor but that should have a white wire on one side and a white/blue on th

- No, it's a resistor. As Paul says in another post. The 45DE had this extra resistor. Changed again for the 45DM. For Rocky, I took a picture. Got the digital camera out of the cabinet, went out to th

- The loom ballast is bypassed on all rubber bumper cars during cranking, the additional resistor for the 45DE4 system isn't. The three wires to the distributor are from the coil -ve (as you say) which
