Ignition With Ballast Resistor Wiring Diagram - Mallory Ignition Mallory UNILITE DISTRIBUTOR User Manual • Coil • Mallory Ignition For the car. installing or retaining the original ignition ballast resistor allows for easy conversion back to standard ignition. FIGURE 3. WIRING DIAGRAMS USING AFTERMARKET ELECTRONIC IGNITION. Nov 01, 2006 · The instructions that come with the individual MSD coils must inform you of when to use a ballast resistor because they don't know if you're using an MSD (or other name brand) ignition box or not. If you reread the instructions (& wiring schematics) you'll see the ballast resistor is only required when using a Mallory Unilite or points distributor:. Aug 26, 2016 · The ballast resistor should have its own secondary wire with a round or U-shaped wire terminal end connected to the positive coil lead stud. Step 4: Remove the wires from the ballast resistor. One comes from the ignition switch while one goes to the ignition coil positive terminal. Step 5: Un-mount the ballast resistor. Remove it either from.
Jul 25, 2017 · I took a look at my wiring diagram for my old "blue box" from the Mopar Bible. It seemed to stress you need to have the proper combination of coil, ballast resistor & ECU. Best check with manufacturer about the coil & ballast resistor.. May 06, 2010 · Ignition coil ballast resistor importance? Discussion in 'Workshop Forum' started by petex19, May 4, 2010. petex19 True Classic. Location: Below is the ignition wiring diagram for the late model X courtesy of Damon's site (#9 is the resistor, #11 is the coil). Apr 11, 2008 · Does your rig have the factory ignition system? As in factory/Mopar ECU, coil, ballast resistor, etc? If so, you can't run a wire straight from full voltage (12-14v) right to the stock coil. The coil was designed to run off of 9-10 volts. (That's what the ballast resistor is there for, to drop the voltage).
Jun 03, 2012 · Re: Ballast resistor and coil confusion The instructions say that for installations that do not use a primary ballast resistor, connect the red ignitor to the positive coil terminal. For installations that use a primary ballast resistor, connect the red ignitor wire to the ignition switch side of the resistance.. Jun 24, 2010 · This is a wiring diagram for the factory ignition module. Below is the wiring diagram using the Bosch ignitor. Note: The resistor shown above is found on the factory ignition module, you will have to desolder it from there and connect it to your new wiring.. Nov 14, 2011 · brandon, on a distributor with points the ballast resistor goes in the wire that goes to the points. If you read my post above yours and look at the wiring diagram in the link it may help you see what Sean is telling you..
Mar 15, 2012 · Thanks Bill. My '52 Chevy 3100 is still a 6Volt system - it came with a ceramic ignition ballast/resistor. One wire from the ignition on one tang, one wire from the positive side of the coil on the other tang - and I guess the other wire is a ground to the engine block. Drove around with it for about 2 weeks no problem.. Chrysler Electronic Ignition The other important component of the electronic ignition system is the ballast resistor. It should be checked with an ohm meter and should have 1.2 ohms of resistance. Typically, a failure of the ballast resistor will result in the engine starting, but then dying as soon as the key is released from the start position.. Jun 27, 2005 · You should either use it with the painless kit as recommended or use your old resistance wire from the stock wiring loom and splice it into the painless ignition wire for the coil + side and not use the ballast resistor. I would do the later because I don't like the looks of that resistor (too 50's-ish) LBR.
Contact breaker (points) type ignition systems, as fitted to most Ford models up to around 1980 (although it lasted up to 1987 for the Capri), can have either a ballast fitted in the wiring loom or not. What is a ballast? Quite simply, it is a resistor that has the purpose of reducing the voltage to the coil. Why do some ignition systems have a. FIGURE 2 WIRING DIAGRAM USING IGNITION BALLAST RESISTOR NOTE: The purpose of an ignition ballast resistor between the ignition switch (12V) and the ignition coil positive terminal is to restrict current flow through the ignition coil. Failure to use an ignition ballast resistor will eventually destroy the Ignition Module..
