Hence the caution in the shop manual not to intermix components. The Delco ballast resistor was spec'd at about 1.4-1.65 ohms and the Auto-Lite at .66 to .74 ohms. You can get close to these values with new replacements from NAPA, their Echlin ICR 11 is 1.35, ICR 12 is 1.5, and ICR 17 is 0.75. They are very inexpensive and I'd recommend carrying the most appropriate one in your glove box if you don't have an original spare.
