Default What's this red Delco ballast resistor?
Anyone know what this is for and why its red? The guy that's selling it does not know and we are both curious.

Default Ballest
I have seen the red ones used on Trucks / generators etc, the red might be a sealent / protectent from the elements.
only my opinion.....Thanks JOHN
