Default ballast resistor for ponts distributor question
I'm planning to run an old dual point 427 distributor in my FE motor in my ERA (I believe it's a 63 model from memory). I thought if I could find anyone who still had a ballast resistor listing in their books, I would be fixed up. NAPA had one for a 63 427 and ordered it but when the parts guy and I opened it up we were both surprised to find a resistor wire harness (1.3 ohm) rather than the resistor coil/isolator I'm most familar with for Mopars and GM cars.

I'm not that familar with older Ford cars - does this resistor harness sound right or should I keep looking?

thanks

Dan
