      Description

      Ballast Resistor. The ballast resistor is designed to regulate electrical current in ignition systems for Chevrolet full-size models from 1957 to 1964. It helps protect ignition components by reducing voltage, ensuring reliable engine performance and preventing overheating. This resistor is essential for maintaining factory-correct electrical operation in vintage vehicles.

      Construction and Appearance. Made with durable materials, the resistor includes an original-style bracket with a half moon cut-in for secure mounting. It provides a 1.8 ohm resistance value specifically for certain Chevrolet ignition systems. Finished to meet OEM specifications, the part ensures authentic appearance and durability.

      Installation. Installation is straightforward with no special tools required, and generally no additional drilling is needed when replacing an existing resistor. The bracket design allows for an easy and secure fit in the designated mounting location.

      Application. Fits 6- or 8-cylinder 1957-1964 Chevrolet full-size models except high-performance variants; also fits 1963-64 Corvette 2nd design except special high-performance and fuel injection models; 1965 Corvette and 1966-67 Corvette except T-ignition models; and 1959-60 El Camino.
