RE: IML: Ballast Resistor

["bom tie" <bomtie@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Dick the ballast master and fellow IMPers,
Whet to start the 63 after 3 years of sitting. Found 3 bad lifters before and replaced the lifters and push rods. I replaced the points with the electronic (the under the cap version). Car started right up and I was breaking the the lifters and the car sputters, dies , and no start. I had a buddy turn it over and had good spark. BUT, I look over and see the ballast SMOKING!
Looked around again and the newly rebuilt carb had a lake of gas on each side.
