Way back in the early '80s, I worked at a independent shop. One evening, close to quitting time, a guy had parked his big ol' boat of a Chrysler across the street in the grocery store parking lot and after he came out of the store, his car decided it wouldn't start. The guy had walked over to our shop and was wondering if we could tow his car over and troubleshoot it. I looked out the window to verify what I needed, grabbed the dual resister that we had in stock, along with a ratchet and a socket to fit the screw that held it to the firewall. I walked over to the car and replaced the dual resister without putting an ohm meter across the leads. Two minutes later I had the guy try to start it and it took right off. I realize I got lucky on thinking it was the resister pack and I guess I would have looked bad if the car didn't start, but it was just a lucky guess that worked. The car owner stood there stunned that I fixed it so quick and I think the boss only charged him a couple of bucks as that was the priced marked on the box with no service call. (You gotta remember this was decades ago when things were cheaper) At that time, I recommended that every Chrysler owner carry a spare resister, the GM owners have a four-pin HEI module and the Ford owners carry the spare aluminum module in their glove box.
