wiring harness resistor on a 67 K10 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey, the engine is on, trannie too, pretty much everything except some body parts. I installed an MSD HEI dist, and the instructions say that i need to remove or by pass the resistor on the engine wiring harness, so where is this thing at?
The engine dont start, it cranks but dont start, theres no fuel getting to the carb what so ever and i changed the fuel pump. I figure out that for some reason if the outlet on the fuel pump is not tight the pump wont pump. The fuel pump is mechanical, Carter.

Thanks in advance.

The resistor on your truck is a wire that is part of the engine harness. If you follow the yellow distributor wire back to the firewall, (inside the harness) you will note that the yellow wire turns pink. The pink wire is the resistor and you can either replace the pink/yellow wire or run a new distributor wire to the fuse panel.

A #10 wire is usually used to insure a full 12 volts to the distributor.

Oh, i was expecting some kind of gizmo, but that sounds easy to do.
Thanks.
