Correct Ballast resistor

You CANNOT accurately measure very low resistances with a std DVM. They are inaccurate. Chrys made sub-one ohm BRs 0.25, 0.5 ohm & 0.7 ohm.

You need a special low-ohm meter [ below ] which has a zeroing function & reads to 3 decimal places.

Alternatively, use an ign system such as HEI which does not require a BR, gives more spark energy, is simpler to hook up & allows for 0.060" plug gaps.
