It does not need to be grounded.

Would that be true for a 1941 V8 Truck?
Are there two Ballast Resistors? It appears that way in the schematic

"Chill" [sic], as there is ONLY one resistor. I've looked at that drawing, and I can see how you might assume that possibly being TWO units, but this picture below should clear-up any confusion as to how they were built back in those days.

To make things easy, run a wire from the ignition switch to FIRST nut on the resistor. Connect a second wire at SECOND nut and run to coil. DD
