Electrical diagrams for Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth carsInstalling the Mopar electronic ignition requires a distributor with the magnetic pickup, and one more wire to the ballast resistor. This wiring diagram is for the 1980 and later four pin ignition module. If you have an ignition harness with five wires, just don’t connect the dark green wire that would go to pin 3.
Ballast Resistor Guide Some brands utilized a resistor in the coil or a resistor wire hidden in the wiring from the ignition switch, but Mopar put their resistor (or ballast resistor) on the firewall or inner fender ...
Chrysler Electronic Ignition Chrysler Electronic Ignition The other important component of the electronic ignition system is the ballast resistor. It should be checked with an ohm meter and should have 1.2 ohms of resistance. Typically, a failure of the ballast resistor will result in the engine starting, but then dying as soon as the key is released from the start position.
How to wire midThe following diagram shows the 5 pin box with dual ballast resistor; “Start” is only hot (+12V DC) during cranking, and “run” is hot (+12V DC) from the moment you turn the key on, through crank, and after crank. (Note: Pat Conners wrote that wires 2 and 3 should go where 4 and 5 are, and vice versa. We'll check on this.)

It's the little round can about 1/2" diameter with a wire lead that connects where the points do. Are you confusing the condenser with the ballast resistor, which is the rectangular ceramic thingy with two spade terminals on it?
66 Chrysler Charging system Hello,The charging system on your chrysler is not too difficult to repair.On the old models there is 2 wires on the alternator.The large one goes to the battery and the small one to the regulator.With a voltmeter on the battery,start the car and then disconnect the small wire.(It goes to 1 of the brushes,the other 1 is grounded)With a jumper wire,go from the brush connector to the large hot ...
Dave's Place If voltage is correct, either ballast resistor is defective (0.5 Ohm Compensating Resistor) or wiring between Ballast Resistor and coil is defective. If voltage incorrect, wiring between ballast resistor and Ignition switch is defective. Repair wiring. Connect voltmeter positive lead to the harness connector cavity No. 3. NOTE:
