Slant six not starting Ballast resistor issues? Ignition switch?

If that's the case it has to be the ballast. Geez don't you have anything to check continuity, etc? You need to get yourself a meter. I'm particularly anal about this, because "when I was a kid" a cheap meter from someplace like Lafayette Electronics was a real POS, and a decent one was EXPENSIVE. Nowadays you can buy a real decent meter for 50-75 bucks, or a better used Fluke for about that much.
