Standard Motor Ballast Resistors RU12

Are you sure the ballast resistor is bad? Should check 1.2 ohms across one side and 5 ohms across the other.

Your parts guy should be able to cross that RU12 number that barnfind listed. They used that ballast resistor on just about everything they made in the seventies. Try anything they made in the mid seventies for an application.

The closest you are going to get to a free shop manual is here: MyMopar - Mopar Forums & Information - Service Manuals
Problem is they don't list a 73 Chrysler manual. They do list a 73 Dodge manual and a 72 Chrysler manual. Using both will get you close until you buy the correct one. I suggest one on CD. 1973 Chrysler Plymouth Shop Service Repair Manual CD | eBay
