Gentlemen,
A quick qustion...is there a difference between marine & auotmotive ballast resistors ?? I recently changed mine with one I bought at an auto parts store for my small blocks, I was having stalling issues after a long run, changed the coil while I was at it too, engine fired right up, ran fine for a short trip. This past weekend I took her for a longer run up into the Trent Canal, no stalling, but when I tried to restart the hot engine,in the first lock, she no go..after a little cursing I lifted the floor and put the old resistor back on, BOOM fired right up, and ran like a top all day, and the next day too...I'm stumped, I have checked the part number from Sierra, its the same part number for Chrysler. Crusader, Chriscraft, & I suspect any other motor with a ballast.
Any idea's ??? thanks
Pete
