Just purchased 1959 chev apache and someone has changed the starter for one with solinoid and has somewhat butchered the wiring. Question.. Has the 59 got the ballast resistor or a resistance wire.

It should have a ballast resistor on the firewall.Resistance wire going to the positive on the coil.

Unless you have an aftermarket coil with an internal resistor.

Thanks.. Found the cut wires, put in a ballast resistor, found the cut off wire going to the solinoid and spliced it too hook up the bypass.
Now sstarts and runs like a top

Thanks a lot.
