Anybody know the part No, or what other vehicle the ballast resistors are of for the V8s. I have 2 which are wired in series.
Mine look a little worse for wear and probably want changing.

My understanding is that thats what the resistors are for.
There isn't a ballast resistor for the coil as far as I'm aware.

They are mounted on the drivers side just behind the mudguard and fixed to a bolt on the chassis, damn stupid location as they get covered in crud. They definately look like ballast resistors.
