Brand Intermotor
Ballast Resistor Resistor in the ignition primary circuit of the 3.5L V8 petrol engine.

Wired in series with the ignition coil, it drops the supply voltage to the coil during normal running to limit primary current. During cranking the resistor is bypassed so the coil receives full battery voltage for a stronger starting spark. Used with contact-breaker ignition systems.

Frequently asked questions

What does the V8 ballast resistor do?
The ballast resistor sits in the ignition primary circuit of the 3.5L V8 petrol engine, wired in series with the ignition coil. It drops the supply voltage to the coil during normal running to limit primary current, protecting the coil and points.
How do I know if my V8 needs a ballast resistor?
A ballast resistor is only used on contact-breaker ignition systems that run a ballasted coil, as fitted to the carburettor 3.5L V8. If your engine has been converted to electronic ignition without a ballast, you typically won't need this part. Check your ignition setup first.
Which vehicles use this ballast resistor?
This Intermotor ballast resistor fits the 3.5L V8 petrol in the Land Rover Series 3 Stage One V8, Defender 90 and 110, and Range Rover Classic with carburettor ignition. It's also listed for Jaguar applications in the AllMakes cross-reference.
