My pump is a Brakerite, and I don't know the value of the resistor.
It's not the type of resistor like we are used to in electronics, you know the little round cylinder with colored bands to denote the resistance value. The one Ron sent me is a very large rectangular shape and about 1 inch by 1 inch by about 3 inches long. I think it is rated for pretty high current. It has an aluminum body with a hole for mounting to the frame.
Ron mentioned that it is only every now and then that this problem comes up. He also said it is more prevalent in late model Fords with the integrated controller. My combination was just the luck of the draw. All my draws have been unlucky lately.
I just thought it might be good to post about this, considering it only happens every now and then. If you have the conversion and don't have the problem then you are good to go. Or should I say "good to stop"....yuk, yuk.
