Does anyone know the original location of the
external resistor that is inline on wire to ignition coil? It is on a 1951 Chevy pickup. It mounts on the firewall but where is the particular spot that the factory located it? thanks for the info mh

There was none in 51. You only need one if you converted to 12 volts. Located it wherever is convenient.

If you have a heater, there may be some long 1/4 studs that project from the firewall. I used some washers with rubber washers too and a locknut to mount it securely.
