74 Spitfire in-line ballast resistor?

["Nicholls, Clark" <cnicholl@lawson.epri.com>]

Apparently (to make a long story short, after taking various voltage
measurements...) there is a ballast resistor in the ignition wiring of
my 74 Spitfire.  

It's not a ceramic resistor anywhere in the engine compartment, and I
need some clues on where to find it.  

Is it a wire?

How do I eliminate it?

Thanks!
Clark
