Going from memory here but I think the OEM field resistor is on the order of 3.0 or 3.2 ohms. The resistor should be rated at 10 watts or more - a resistor rated for fewer watts can overheat, burn out or even start a fire in the ammeter box. As a practical matter however, unless you are an absolute stickler for originality I strongly recommend you ditch the cutout and field resistor and replace 'em with a voltage regulator. A regulator does a much better job of maintaining the proper charging current to the battery, and it eliminates the risk of overcharging. For $35 or so it's money well spent!
