Hi guys,
At a swap meet last weekend I picked up a neat little piece, it's a Studebaker V-8 distributor with the guts from a B/RB MoPar distributor swapped in so that I can have a fully electronic ignition. (I was actually trying to build one of these for another project last year but I got to the stage where I had all the parts laid out and that was about it... other things got in the way of me finishing that project..)
ANYWAY... the questions. I have the distributor, the wiring harness, and the orange control box. So far so good. Did not have a ballast resistor so I went to the parts store and got one for a '73 Chrysler, I figured that would be about right. When I opened up the box to look at it there are four terminals on it... all the wiring diagrams for this setup that I have found online show a single ballast with two terminals... what gives? I'd actually like to install this next weekend as I am having driveability problems in my '55 Stude coupe and would like to eliminate the distributor as a possibility.
thanks,
nate
