I've got a '72 FJ40 with the original F motor and I assume, original distributor. I'm converting to Pertronix ignition & purchased 91665A Ignitor II kit & 40511 flame thrower coil.
Everything went pretty smooth but I had a question I was hoping someone could help me with.
The instructions differ depending on whether a ballast resistor exists. It says "For installations that use a primary ballast resistor, connect the red Ignitor wire to the ignition switch side of the resistor" but it's just a flow chart diagram and I'm having trouble identifying this thing on my positive wire. I don't know why I didn't think of this at the time but looking at the picture now, it looks like a fuse but I'm at work & can't test that theory.
Is this a primary ballast resistor or something else and if the former, where would the red ignitor wire attach to it?
