'60 Electra Resistance wire

[60electra225]

Where is the resistance wire located on a '60 Electra ? I have checked the firewall and the inner fender, but no sign of it. Is it a ceramic block, or, as the name suggests, an actual wire and if so, how do I identify it ?

It is an actual wire, not a ceramic block, and is part of the wiring harness. Look for a wire with woven fabric insulation instead of the usual plastic covering.

In the '60 chassis manual, you will get an idea from figure 10-20 on page 10-34:

and from figure 10-95 on page 10-103:

Thanks. Looking at that diagram, I should be able to trace it back from the relay to the coil. I will also read through the text and see if it indicates a resistance value so I can test it.
