Hey Guys,
I need help. I am trying to make sense of a half done wiring job. Some guys working on my 69 Roadrunner were trying to install a painless wiring system. The car has a 383 with an MSD ignition controller, coil and distributor. I am looking at the wiring diagrams and the guys didn't wire in a ballast resistor. I can't start the car and do a normal test to determine what voltage the engine is running at. Is a ballast resistor required with an MSD ignition system? I looked on the MSD webpage but it was no help. Any ideas?
