Last week, I inquired about which electronic ignition to use. I purchased a
Pertronix, and started to install it yesterday. This is on a 73, US spec 1500.
Can someone please tell me the physical location of the ballast resistor?
Thanks,

On a 73 I believe it is a wire in the wiring harness. There is no separate
resistor. My 74 is that way as well. When I did my Pertronix I just ran
the 2 wires to the 2 terminals on the coil. It's been running fine for
about 12 years.

Thanks to all rhat replied. I took Bill's suggestion and connected it to the
second terminal on the coil, and, after resetting the timing, it fired right up
and is running great. It turns out that had I had the time to play with the
timing yesterday it would have been fine.
Once again, thanks f
I may be incorrectly reading what you are saying, but Petronix specifies a 12
volt source for the red wire -if you hook it up to the + terminal of a 6 volt
coil (e.g. one with a ballast resistor), the Pertronix unit will workbut the
general experience is that it will have a shortened life (Petronix
