Detailed Product Description and Attributes

The RU-37 ballast resistor from Standard Ignition is engineered to maintain proper voltage levels in the ignition system by reducing the current to the ignition coil after engine start. This helps prevent coil overheating and extends component life. The resistor comes with mounting brackets for a stable and secure fit within the engine bay. It features two male blade terminals, which are standard in many ignition systems, facilitating straightforward installation and connection. The absence of a connector allows for customization based on the vehicle’s wiring harness.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

This ballast resistor is compatible with a range of vehicles, including Chrysler models like the Dodge Charger and Plymouth Duster, as well as Honda Civic and Jeep Wagoneer. It fits various trucks and vans such as the Dodge Ram 50, Power Ram 50, and multiple Plymouth and Chrysler full-size models including the Town & Country and New Yorker. The RU-37 is suitable for ignition systems requiring a coil resistor with blade terminals and mounting brackets.
