Can anyone tell me where the ballast resistor for a 65 corvair is?

Ron,

I've never taken the time to locate it, but it is in the engine wiring 
harness. Supposedly can easily be bypassed, but the one time I asked, I got cryptic 
instructions.

    There is no "balast resistor block" in any corvair except the Spyder. 
Rather they all had a resistor wire in the harness. That wire should be left on 
the coil and a new wire run from the junction block at the firewall to the 
Pertronics unit red wire. Look in the junction connector and you will see the 
braided covered wire, that is where you want to connect your 12v source.
    Hopefully this isn't "cryptic".
