My K10 1992 would not start the other morning. I tested for a spark and found that there was one albeit a bit weak. I started changing the usual stuff, ignition leads, dizzy cap etc - none of that helped.
Then I decided to replace what I thought was the condenser next to the coil. Turns out its actually a ballast resistor. At the local spares shop, the only sort they had looked totally different with different connections. The guy at the shop said it would work fine with a bit of modification. So with some bits of wire and a crimper I got it connected and the car started straight away.
Only thing is, the resistor glows in the dark. Does anyone know why this is or where I could get the correct part?
