A lister was kind enought to do just that and the drive resistor measured
(or was listed as) 9.5 ohms, + or - 5 percent
Just to add more confusion to the matter, My distributor has a 3 pin (Molex
type) connector, not separate wires, and the wire colors are white/black,
white/blue, and. . .red/black!  Now what do I do, maybe this was from a
different vehicle???  I'll check the numbers on the distributor tonight to
see 


<<<<<<<<<<<snip part of original message>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

So, picking Haynes Brains, I see the "Drive Resistor," and it is only
sort-of connected across the distributor -- one lead (Green) connects
to ignition switch contact 3 via a White wire, one lead (White) goes
to the distributor, and a third lead (White/Blue) also goes to the
distributor.  The diascratch makes it look like the White and
White/Blue leads attach to the distributor ground terminal.
