There is a lesson to be learned. I never leave home without a spare ballast resistor and ignition box. Back in the 80's, while cruising I parked in a lot with other cars. Went to leave and it wouldn't fire up. A fellow Mopar came over and loaned me a ballast resistor and it fired right up. Nothing more embarrassing than having people eyeballing your car; black 70 duster, rear end narrowed and tubbed with 15" wide Cragars and circle track slicks tucked into the wheel wells and it won't start.
