Hi James-
My original wiring on my 64 had fusible links to the starter and a resistor wire from the firewall. Before I put in the pertronix unit I had changed to the AAW wire set and needed the ballast resistor per the instructions for a points set-up. So yes you are correct- originally it was a resistor wire. And there were fusible links going to starter, voltage regulator and some of the relays. The new wire set and fusebox gets rid of all of that thankfully. It was a bit pricey, but worth it I think as the old wiring was basically a huge fire hazard.
On another note- Have you experienced any oiling problems to the valve trains. I'm getting next to nothing up there?
