Description

Standard Ignition RU-37 ballast resistor for the 1973 Honda Civic 1.2L and other vehicles limits the current going to the ignition coil. It is sold as an ignition coil resistor.

Made by a company that has supplied the ignition aftermarket since 1919
Quality control covers the process from components to finished product
Heavy molded ceramic body for maximum heat dissipation
Nichrome wire winding for durability and extended life

A failing ballast resistor can show up as hard starting, an engine that cuts out, or a cracked or scorched body. Other ignition faults cause the same symptoms, so first look the resistor over with the engine off and cool, checking for cracks, burn marks and loose or corroded connections. A shop can measure it if it looks fine.

It fits the 1973-1977 Dodge Charger V8-5.2L, V8-5.9L and V8-6.6L, and the 1988-1994 Dodge Dakota V6-3.9L, with one resistor per vehicle.
