ballast resistor smokes
i have a 1988 3/4 ton with a 360. when i turn on the ignition the ballast resistor heats up and begins to smoke. if i unplug the ignition module or leave the ignition module plugged in but unbolt it from the fire wall it does not smoke. i have tried a second used ignition module and it does the same thing. any thoughts as to why it would be doing this would help alot. it has me totaly baffled.
