Where is the ballast mounted on stock slant six
The ballast on my 64 with /6 was mounted through the bottom right hand ear of the brake master cylinder. That doesn't seem correct. Shouldn't it be on the firewall somewhere? How about a picture or explanation from you guys that have parted out these trucks? Thanks Craig

Re: Where is the ballast mounted on stock slant six
Well... I hate to say, I DON'T know... but on a 1970 it was mounted near the driverside hood hinge. You can see the original ballast resistor mounted next to the hinge/master cyl.
I hated to say for sure because this is a 1970 and not a '64
Hope it helps.

Re: Where is the ballast mounted on stock slant six
I found these two pictures on-line which is what you have now and no indication that it is correct. I probably shouldn't post this since I don't know but its slow today at work. I can look for pictures of my truck when it was bone stock tonight but it was a poly 318.
