427 resistor… specs, replacement?

A few questions. I have a 427 that is showing signs of not enough electricity - hard start, dying when increasing throttle. Some suggested a ground issue, but I had someone also tell me it could be the resistor that’s failing. So… some questions…

  1. How can I test my existing one? What are the specs ?

  2. If I needed to purchase such an animal, where might I find one?

  3. My current one has a friendly “+” and “-“ on it but what about a spare I have with no markings on it?

Here’s a pic of my current one..n

Char ..... The diffuser gaskets mentioned are "internal" to the Carter & Edelbrock carbs . The Cometic carb base gasket to intake manifold mentioned is also correct for the Carter carb . The Holley carb reference on the Cometic site is still produced and is the popular reference on many sites where as the original Carter carb is no longer made other than the Edelbrock clone type carbs . Hope this helps .
