Been busy making mounting tabs & bits n bobs today, so no piccies worth showing.
Mr Poprodder very kindly sent me a new ballast resistor so I bolted it alongside the coil. Anyone know how to wire it up? 2 connections on the new one, 3 on the old, with 2 wires in one spade terminal. So what should I be connecting where?

Will it go over speed bumps with the front grill that close to the ground?

 yeah, there's 5 inches of clearance, about the same as my Ford Fiesta commuter car, but the front tyres are ahead of the grille, so hit any bumps first, hopefully lifting the truck -& grille, over them safely.

if you have the standard sd1 dizzy fitted you dont need a ballast resistor if i remember rightly black/red to the + on the coil and the black/white to the - negative on the coil  |

Hiya Toad. Re-fitting one cos the old one was on the engine when I got it & is a standard Rover one, so assuming it's best to fit than not. Just don't understand how it connects really -is it just spliced into the live feed to the coil? Where do the wires into & out of the resistor go?

the only reason you have a resistor fitted is because the sd1 was factory fitted with a 6v coil just bung a 12v on to simplfy the wiring and get a better spark as a bonus  |

O.K, so what actually connects to what? -never understood wiring. How would I remove the resistor from the equation?

black/red from dizzy to positive on coil with switchable power feed black/whitefrom dizzy to negative on coil jobs a good,un if you get stuck i,ll pop by when im on my travels |

Cheers Mr T. I'll scribble that down & try it tomorrow -so what about the other wires on the old ballast thingy?
I'm at Loony's workshop most afternoons, about 3 0 clock onwards. Be good to see you mate.

You seriously think I understand wiring diagrams?! Quote: "You may as well be looking at a map of the Tokyo underground, which would probably be of more use".  |
