Thanks for the input Drbrown. I did disconnect the battery before getting under the dash to remove the bad resistor.

Remark: High amperage inside the passenger cab and especially within the congressed dash wiring area is dangerous. One does not want to go swing tools around in there. I had a short there but luckily found it before it cause harm. I also installed a fuse on the ignition circuit. I'd rather have the fuse act-up than otherwise.

The resistor does get very hot but unusual to see one burned in half. Suggest you check the resistance of the ignition circuit to see if there is a short in the circuit before burning another resistor. The ignition circuit does not have a fuse.

Dennis Carpenter has this one in stock that may work for you. https://www.dennis-carpenter.com/trucks/engine/ignition-amp-timing/18-12250-ignition-coil-resistor-origin

Good afternoon all. It was the ignition resistor burnt open. Does anyone have a recommendation for a quality USA made replacement? This is for an all original 1938 Fordor Deluxe Ford. Thanks

It could just be that one of the connections in the primary ignition circuit has come loose.
