The 74.5 has a ballast resistance wire built into the loom as standard.
It goes from the ignition switch to the side of the coil away from the
dizzy on the same terminal as the white/yellow wire from the starter
relay. My wiring diagram shows it as kw (pink with white stripe) but
mine seems to be brown with a very distinct herringbone pattern in the
wire. This arrangement seems to give the coil the full 12 volts for
startup and then drop it back to (6v ?) via the ballast wire once the
startup procedure is complete.
Or perhaps I am not quite understanding your question..

Subject: ballast resistor placement
ok I'll ask my question a different way; 74.5 tr6;what is the typical
placement arragment of the ignition coil ballast resistor? mine is
placed between block[coil bracket] and positive side of the coil. is
this typical?also does anybody know the rating of this resistor for me
to determine if it is operating correctly. thanks!
