It moves!

Yep. 20A

Does a a similar job to a fuse, but instead of switching the circuit off it just interrupts when there is a fault/short etc.
Somewhere on it there will be a Amperage rating.

A ballast resistor usually looks like this.

I was fishing around hoping to find something simple, as I have fitted electronic dissy., and still to wire in a new feed wire to the coil. Oh well, keep looking.

I have fit a clear fuel filter though. And noticed a few bubbles coming through the fuel line to the filter as it's idling. Could this prevent the bowl from filling?

The old wiring was a complete mess with heaps of switches and relays for who knows what so I pulled the whole lot out, in amongst the stuff I pulled out was a ballast resister like your photo
my question is where does it get wired in cant see it on the LR schematic so it's obviously a Holden thing
im going to use an electronic dizzy and suitable coil if this effects anything

Cheers Paul

G'day Paul,
if by an "electronic ignition" you mean you are using the Bosch HEI distributor as was used on later blue motors then consider using a Bosch HEC715 (high energy coil) as they are the best suited for the Bosch "High Energy Ignition" distributors. They are about $75 and available at Repco, Bursons, E-Bay, etc., they compliment the dizzy and make a very noticeable difference. A set of Irridium plugs are a good investment too.
As JD said, that ballast resistor was for use on pre HEI ignitions and used with lower voltage coils which were stamped "use with resistor" Earlier model Holdens had a "resistor wire" in the ignition circuit, coupled with the lower voltage coil.

Here is a pic of the HEC715 coil.

Cheers, Mick.

A Test Light or a Multimeter should help you pick up a wire that is live when the ignition is turned on.
If its got fuel in the filter it should be ok, probably just that you have fitted the new filter, hopefully it will clear itself.
If it persists and causes you any grief you might have to go over all the connections on the suction line.

Cheers, Mick.
