Chevy2550 Shade Tree Mechanic Registered: 09/18/07 Posts: 34 Loc: Missoula, Montana	I am looking for a resistance unit also. I do not even know what I am looking for. Can you describe it? Know where there are more? I have a '25 with a '28 engine--maybe one resestor is good for both????

jack39rdstr Registered: 07/24/05 Posts: 1418 Loc: Sydney, Australia	Chevy2550. The resistance unit is shown on page 166 of the 1928 repair manual. It gives a description of its function on page 167. It increases its resistance with increased current and has a tendency to limit current through the coil , particularly if the ignition is left on without the engine running. _________________________ Jack
