Big brains,
I Inherited a '52 8N, a hack 12v conversion was put in at some point. Working on refreshing the wiring due to connections being exposed and corroded. Original rectangular resistor is being used as a washer for the alternator bracket. Any idea what this is? It's in line from key to coil where the rectangular resistor should be according to wiring diagram.
I'm hoping it's an aftermarket resistor that I can remove and put a new 12v coil in and upgrade to electronic ignition.
Thanks y'all!
