Chrysler used the key in start position to apply 12v to other side of the ballast. 12v to coil. I use a diode on my jubilee. The other side of the diode goes to the starter. No key, push button to ground to energize starter solenoid.
This is a ballast off my 1978 dodge aspen wagon. By measuring the voltage drop across it and amps through it Mr OHM says the ballast is 1.26 ohms when hot. Less ohms if you measure it with an ohm meter.
Whoever wired my Jubilee used a 1.26 ohm ballast, same as chrysler used in the 1960 and 70s, I have to bypass my ballast.
I noticed YT sells conversion kits with 0.6 ohm ballasts.
Using a larger ballast means less amps and parts will last longer.
Using a .6 ohm resistor may be why people think today's points are junk.
