   - - -and, the ballast resistor will not knock out your power supply. Bad connections at the battery will as well as a bad connection or cable anywhere in the power supply system. 

  Most seen battery cable problem is with the clamp fixit things that get installed at the battery posts to replace bad cable ends. They are nothing but trouble and need constant maintenance. Complete, new, high quality cables ahould always be used when ends or cables are bad. Temp ends are high resistance connection at best so there is a voltage drop even though enough poop may get through to start car.

  An open ballast resistor will result in a crank, start, but not run situation. Voltage readings you posted look good. If ballast resistor circuit goes to ground, engine could crank but not start. Or, the short to ground could result in major wiring and  ignition switch damage.
