Hi Olds lovers,

Does anyone have any info on a GM ignition ballast resistor p/n 1946247.

I do not presently have this resistor but have found mention of one and am wondering what it's resistance value is or what it may have been used on ?

By the number sequence it would appear to be an early 60's part number.

Thank you in advance for any help.

Jerry

 

If you don't have this resistor, then why do you need to know more about it?

Why not just set up your car the way you want and then get the resistor that you need?

By the way, the standard Olds coil and resistor values are:

I have a LOT of resources here and can't find any info. I've never seen it on an oldsmobile from at least mid 60's up. There's one on ebay.

 

eBay sellers seem to think similar-looking resistors are for '57 to '64 full-size V8 cars and some Corvettes.
Sounds right to me.

I don't know anything more specific, but here's a link to the eBay photo of that resistor:

I AM TRYING TO GET THE RESISTOR I NEED - that is why I'm trying to identify it as I'm trying to get the resistance value I need !

 

Yes, but what resistor do you need?

What car do you have?

What engine?

What type of ignition?

As Joe likes to say, the mind reader is on the fritz today.

My original question was basically : Does anyone know anything about this resistor.

I've got everything else covered - thank you !

 

Okay, hey, whatever.

But if you want to know what resistor to use, someone here could probably just tell you.

If you already know what resistor to use, and the resistor posted above isn't it, then I'm not sure why you asked your question.

I DON'T KNOW IF THAT RESISTOR IS IT ? - Do you know anything about that resistor ?
I don't either !

 

Nope, it definitely won't fit your 1913 Oldsmobile Model 53.

That is all.

Sorry.

Goodbye.

 

Fire it up against a brick wall and see what resistance it has.

 

Thank you for your efforts Mr Olds !

 

Ask a SIMPLE question and you get SIMPLE answerers LOL

 

I just couldn't resist lol.

 

Hey, QIK59 --
MDchanic was doing his best to help you -- as HE ALWAYS does!!!! --
he was asking you what car, points or electronic ignition, etc., etc.
-- those questions are critical to your success......
and you kinda blew him off!!!!!!!!!!!!

You need to read a thread, entiltled,

"All C.O. ers NEED to read this"..............wil serve you well!!!

 

The only success I was hoping for was to get info/specs on p/n 1946247.

Until Mr MD googled the # - I never thought to do that

I didn't ask anyone to analyze what I'm doing / working with - I am perfectly capable of evaluating info and making my own decisions.

Amen

 

perhaps but for the benifit of the entire community it may be more helpful to provide as much info as possible that way everyone can learn something....for example if Eric just stated info but never mentioned google you might still not have thought of google
