this is a silly question I SHOULD know the answer to, but I'm at a loss right now. I'm working on my buddies 65, which is a WIRING NIGHTMARE, anyway, I assume the ballast resistor is coming out from the keyed switch, somewhere before the main disconnect in the firewall, but I can't find it to save my life, especially in the maze of "mystery wires" which apparently go nowhere....any help?

The resistor is a thick pink wire connected to a red w/green wire out the back of the ignition switch, and has an insulation wrap around it.

Dats da one!  Provided that an aftermarket ignition system has not been installed.  ------------------

There is a inline connector about two inches out from the ignition switch. This is where the insulated pink resistor wire connects in. It then crosses over behind the dash gauges and then snakes back into the main firewall plug, it is molded into the disconnect plug, its about two feet long.Mike

Gracias All,
Everything stated above is what I thought (trying to remeber from my Hi-6 install) but apparently the red/green lead from the switch was replaced with a chunk of 14 gauge black wire... I did manage to find the pink resistor wire and work my way backwards though....Never EVER volunteer to do favors on your birthday...or the day after for that matter...oh well, thanks again
