I'm wiring in a 2.3L with Duraspark into my 99 3.0L chassy. My Chiltons manual shows a ballast resistor in the run wire from the ignition. My plan was to hook this to the run wire going to the coil pack on the 3.0L. How important is this ballast resistor? I bought a chiltons manual for the 99 Ranger but I feel I got hosed on that book as it dont have half the wiring diagrams needed. In fact it dont have any of the wiring diagrams I need for my project. I wanted the wiring for the speedometer, neutral safty switch, and dash, plus it would have been nice to know ALL the computer pins and it lacks all that. I think I added more wire info to the book tearing apart the engine harness than the book had when I started.
So do I need the resistor?
