hello they made those carts from 71-79. if you want instant power when accelerating the resister type are great. you can still get all the parts to maintain them. to change over to a newer style i used a 400 amp Curtis controller which eliminated the bank of solenoids and resister coils you will have to install a pot box to the throttle pedal the conversion can run from 250 to 6-700 bucks depends on if you use new or used controller if you look thru my make a wish build i think i posted pictures of the pot box placement and how it is connected to the throttle pedal
