What purpose does the ballast resistor mounted to the firewall on my 58 Ford serve? I am having a problem of an intermittent drop in revs to zero. The car
starts up quickly and runs fine, except for this. It happens under various situations, I cannot isolate it to any one specific situation. It's a 292, points distributor, 2bbl Holley, all in good working order.
Also, where is the search feature on this site? This may have been answered on another post, but I am not smart enough to find the search box!
