Sorry for replying so late .... yes it has a ballast resistor and a condensor. There are a few other differences I've noticed as well. For instance, I don't have a SeatBealt Warning sign or a Key Buzzer. Maybe this car is an early 1973.

Anyways, you mentioned that a Green resistor bypass should be present. Ain't got like that. From what I've researched elsewhere, this is probably not a good thing.

I did perform some tests with a Multimeter and although I can't remember the values for resistance, I can tell you that differed from the ranges you noted. Also, a voltage test with the condensor and resistor disconnected yields something I don't understand.

The Green/Black wire from the fusebox shows 12V only when disconnected from the coil. If I reattach, reading drops to around 7V.

Does this mean that the coil is shot?

Any help appreciated.
