All 12 volt systems with points need a resister in the circuit. They are available from any parts store. It is a ceramic resister available at any parts store listed for 55 to the early 60's Chevs. You should put a bypass wire on it for quicker starts. If you are useing a selinoid type starter there is a term. on it for that. If you are useing the foot starter you can get a 12 volt one that has a small term. on the side. The best resister for the gas gauge is the Runtz. It is avaiable at most specialty stores. If you are near K.C. we have several in this area.
