slant 6 no start issues

start and run are different animals on a 4 prong ballast resistor, (2 circuit) or 2 prong (bypass is done by different wire in harness) just bypass the ballast resistor for up to 5 minutes, thatll determine if the BR is FU. ballast resistor heats up over time and increases resistance to lower the current/voltage to the coil, lengthening thier life. The points last longer as there is a lower flyback current through it. It gets HOT after a while thats why its big and made of ceramic.
