What makes us stand out and lead in the Mustang restoration business is our transparency. We produce a video series on RUclips for every car we restore, it is a day-by-day account of the work we do on this Mustang you want to see.
You can see the progress from the day we purchase your future Mustang until the day you buy it from us.
We have clients from all over the world hired the shop to work on their Mustang after and during the project they tell us they very happy with our work. You the viewer can see everything we do and comment on our work. We know that say’s a lot about our credibility at MustangMedic. It also creates intrinsic value the Mustang we call a MustangMedic Mustang.

Thanks so much for the info. Had exact same problem for years....Added the resistor to elc IG and my 351C CJ straitened right out! Thanks again👍🏾🐎😎

You're very welcome, thanks for the positive words.

Definitely a Ballast is needed for a points system if it doesn't already have the resistance wire from the Ign switch. But I've always used MSD distributors and Coils which require full 12V and most certainly doesn't need a Ballast. That's according to the instructions. Am I getting this right, as some have said that no matter points or electronic, a ballast is a must.

[@MustangMedic]

Nice details

[@jimgee2676]

pertronix recommends to bypass the ballast resistor when using their ignitor system they say if u have a coil of 0.5 or 0.6 you can keep the ballast but if you run a 1.5 or 3.0 ohm coil you must bypass ballast ..

God bless good tips sr thank you keep up the honest job

[@MustangMedic]

Thank you, sir, the shop is no more but MustangMedic lives on, car shows and the creation of MustangMedic Ranch. We have two channels on RUclips

[@mdkingsley]

Good job Joe!

[@mikeroeder6339]

Mustangs those years use a resistance wire right after the ignition switch under the dash. You will not see a typical resister under the hood.

[@lesskorpil4370]

true

[@jayinla310]

Great job Joe. Pretty bad when the requirements are printed right on the coil and ignored.

[@jimg691]

Pink resister wire is in the harness if someone did not remove it.

[@MustangMedic]

Thanks

[@derfkristian362]

No hose on the vacuum advance port on the distributor?

[@MustangMedic]

Really???

[@dansuperbee3321]

They do a lot of talking without a lot of action.... plus the car will have a resistor, its the pink wire

[@JesusPerez-xv9vy]

Why not put a pertronix coil and pertronix ignition unit, the coil requires 12 Volts so you don't need a ballast resistor. Save the time and money on the ballast, get the new coil Will!

[@Adam-ds5uv]

My friend has an 82 ford f 150 with a 302. No points in the distributor but has the OEM coil no resistor or blast resistor. It has been a wiring and mechanical nightmare. Being he bought the truck with it not running and leaves in the edelbrock carb.. I have no idea if it needs a ballast resistor.

[@roostercogburn4832]

Maybe it doesn't like your makeup, and earrings with that chiseled chin.

[@skipperrichman4278]

Ha guys, Great video. I have a 4cyl. chevy on my boat. Installing electronic ignition. Do I need to consider a ballast resistor and or new coil to get the right volts for the new ignition system?

[@edwardpayne9658]

Where can I get a resistor ballast block 68 mustang?
