ok I will be the first to admit it’s been really slow going. I own my own contractors business and I’m basically chained to it 7 days a week. So my 2 72 Cutlass’s are both in various stages of undress. I do however make sure to start them at least every other Sunday. A couple of Sundays ago had a few hours was tinkering but car would not start. Do all the usual stuff charged the battery check this and that found a couple bad electrical connections. Wiggled them around car started right up. (72 Cutlass s small blk 350 ) The connections were from the previous owner installing new coil and distributor I assuming wires not sure. The poor connections were at the coil and what appeared to be a old maybe original ballast resistor mounted on the fire wall that’s where I jiggled and it started. While crimping on new sta cons and just cleaning it all up the ballast resistor basically broke in half and was a piece of crap. Went to local Napa store down the street and installed the only one they had. Looks damn close not sure of the specs on it though or what I should have. Remade all the connections car started right up no problem. Two weeks later turn key got nothing, everything else works it’s not a battery issue. I have no continuity between the resistor I’m thinking it’s fried. Bypassed it just to hear her crank and nothing. All grounds and starter connections are good. Any ideas ?
