Ballast Resistor

[Harold R.]

Does anyone have a good picture of an original ballast resistor for a 57' (December 56 build date)?

Harold -

I have this photo ID'd as "56-'57, no trough"; if it's not correct, I'm sure someone will chime in.

Harold I have attached a picture from car # 4713 built about June 20, 1957
Let me know if this gives you any help.

note the "thumbnail" and the tab on the bracket. dave's pic doesn't show a side view of the porcelain but it should not have a shallow cut out on each end like the c-2's. mike

Another picture that is not great but it does show no notch on the end as Mike says
