Default Then and now (Chrysler engines)

Yes, I went through a lot of ballast resistors. Those were
one of the issues. Even the pharmacist next door (who is
totally not a repair guy) carried a spare ballast resistor.
In the glove compartment.

What finally helped was scraping and sanding the rust off
the electronic ignition module, and remounting it on new
metal.

You probably had a cracked dual ballast resistor, a common
problem with the early units. A lot of guys carried a spare
ballast resistor in the glove box. :-)
