    Hi I have a 63 wildcat. I recently got it running again after sitting for a couple years and found my resistance wire frayed and some of the loose strands melting surrounding wires when the car was running. It seems like a mouse might of been chewing on it. I was wondering what the resistance of that wire should be. For now I was planning on getting a ballast resistor but I am also curious about finding replacement resistance wire.
