am working on getting the ignition in my 72 fish reconnected.72 body, 74 318 engine....
I got the Bill Evans engine harness for electronic ignition and it has two 2-spade connectors for the ballast.
My car had a single ballast so I went to my local Pep Boys and bought a new dual unit.
Couple issues:
First, I finally found the "CORRECT" wiring diagram in the CD manual I got for the 72. The diagram on mymopar.com doesnt show the dualballast.....
Can someone look at this picture and double check me? Look right to you?

Next, the manual says the main ballast is supposed to measure .5-.6 ohm.....this one (brand new) measures 1.6.
Auxilliary supposed to be 4.75-5.75....it reads at 5.7
Did I get a bad or incorrect ballast? Temp in the garage is about 60.
