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…
How can I test my existing one? What are the specs ?
If I needed to purchase such an animal, where might I find one?
My current one has a friendly “+” and “-“ on it but what about a spare I have with no markings on it?

What do you have for Chokes on the carburetor? 16 pumps to start seams a lot. There was write up here or elsewhere about the electronic choke. I have the AFB and pump twice and fires right off. Took some adjusting with carb, choke and timing to get to that point. If I pump any more I have issues. First start after long setting I will turn the motor over before touching throttles just to get the fuel pump running the pump twice and start.
Is your oil milky or spell like fuel, thin?
Could be quite a rabbit hole you could be going down.
