Re: ballast resistor

Most of the Corvette parts companys have them. Most have the black dot which may or may not be correct. There is a section in the Corvette Restoration handbook for 58-60 that shows what to do with the tab to make it more like the original. Most are under $30. I do not know if there is any difference for 61-62

I got one for my '62 from Long Island Corvette. Supposed to be very close.

Try vettegal.com. Mary Jo has a lot of items like ballast resistors, had good prices, and ships out faster than any vendor I deal with.

Re: ballast resistor

I bought one from her. Problem that she or someone who works for her sprays everything with paint. The metal clamp was sprayed with a gray paint and the ceramic was sprayed with clear so I'm going to bead blast the ceramic and the clamp, re-plate the metal and hope that the blasting doesn't mess up the finishes. Would have been better if she didn't do that.
