65 Dart Wagon Conversion to a Sedan Delivery
Since I’m trying to keep the engine compartment looking reasonably close to stock, the plan is to keep the ballast resistor but remove the resistor and replace it with a just a wire. After removing the mounting bracket from the case (which I will send out to be refinished in the original yellow dichromate), i cut the resistor from the terminals, got them removed and wire brushed cleaned. I soldered a 12 gauge wire to each terminal and reinstalled to the housing. Once I get the clamp back, I can install the new and improved (for my use) to the upper firewall and it will still look stock!
