Hi list!

The posting speaking about the bad points possibly caused by lack of a 
ballast resistor forces me to ask the questions: what is a ballast resistor 
and what exactly does it do in the ignition circuitry.  Further, why do some 
systems have them and others do not?  On the TR6 was it the earlier ones 
that didn't have them but the later ones did?  What does the ballast 
resistor look like and where is it?  Thank you.

Sincerely,
Dave Herbert
1969 TR6 and nothing else
