[Amps] Need some 220K 2 watt carbon resistors

220K could be a bit high for series capacitor equalisers, depending upon the leakage current of the capacitor. Even if they're low enough in value (I'd use a rule of thumb of resistor current equals 5 times rated max leakage current), I agree with Gary. Use MOX instead. Carbons drift like Kon Tiki. 
I had some packs of resistors. A MIL Spec, NATO part numbered 4k7, 5%, 1/4 watt, carbon comp resistor, packed in a sealed polythene bag in August 1963 measured, when taken out of the bag 42 years later, 22% high.
