resister wire from switch ???????
I'm about to install a XR-1 in my distributer and have to make sure there is ballast resistance in the circut. The service manuel shows a risistance wire from the switch, all I see is a normal red wire. Whats the resistance wire look like?? what should I be looking for ? the service manuel covers other cars as well like chevelles etc. maybe vettes don'T have them ??

if you have checked all the wires that attach to the coil and can not identify it. i recomend you buy a wiring diagram. i got one of the laminated ones.
this will allow you to find the wire at the firewall connector and follow it back to the terminal.
i found a 73 diagram in a Haynes book and it lists a blk/pnk wire going to the coil. find on the block and remove it...
