I noticed a while back that one of the two wires leading into a little
finned doohickey on my Spit was broken off. Didn't seem to affect
anything... I realized while figuring out the ignition timing in the Haynes
book last night that it must be what they call the ignition resistor. Is
this the same as a ballast resistor? My car has a Crane ignition system
with a Mallory Coil, do I even need to replace the resistor? Car ran fine
without the one lead attached, at least until the engine broke! Not
related, I hope! ;-)
