My new vehicle - a 1975 dodge dart with a /6. We got it running after sitting for 8 years and after taking it for a quick run around the block, the ballast resistor gets very hot; hot to the point where if you touch it, you will get burned.
I've not done anything in regards to electronics or ignition on this vehicle. The battery is so/so as it was sitting for who knows how long. I charged it up and it is able to start the vehicle. The volt meter is on the positive side
Does it matter which side certain wires are hooked up to it? I don't think it is, but maybe?? In looking at the existing connectors, they are blackened depicting that they have seen steady heat in the past...
Anyone have some thoughts?
Thanks,
Pieter
