I don't think they used a resistor, if you mean for the points. I'm pretty sure it is a resistance wire instead.

Can you circle the holes in the picture? I can't quite make them out. I was thinking I could check the assembly manual. How close together are they?

Shoot, I was hoping for close together for a relay or something...

I have never seen them used on all the cars i have seen 1964-1967

On my original unrestored cars there are actually 3 holes that make up a triangle shape.

They are originally covered with small pieces of cloth wire harness tape

here is a pic of my original 67 and my 64

Usually the tape has fallen off, exposing the holes to water getting inside the car.
