starting 63 413

The ballast resistor should be in the neighborhood of 2 ohms.
Your current limit should be at around 4 amps.
The resistance of the coil should be between 1 and 2 ohms.
There may be some corrosion at either the + or ground terminals that you may 
want to check - not at the battery but at the starter or wherever in the 
chassis the ground terminal hooks to.
