Jerry.....my mistake my uncle said that the points only ever take up to 6 - 9 volts as 12 volts will cook them and that 6 volt systems never needed ballast resistors as the points only ever got 6-9 volts....you are most correct thanks for keeping me honest. OK...a number 10 fuse link to the Ign. switch Batt. side of switch?...Have we got it? I guess we can get one at the local Napa store....never seen one...... YES... I guess this is electrical stuff but it all has to do with removal and installation of a distributor so either forum could be right...that's my opinion and therefore it is correct! T/C Steve
