Re: At the end of the rope with my 46.
Some of these newer off shore coils may not be as good as older.There are plety of NOS coils on the bay.The round coil may be even better then old ones if you have a later car.The ones that can,t be rebuilt.
The points should be set,good condeser,and us made round coil.
Take the wire out of dist and hold 1/2 from ground.
Now try and start have someone watch the spark,
Should be sharp,sounding,snapping sound. 1/2"
If thats good, start it and look for other reasons for not starting.
Old or new coil still draw about 3 amps.
Think of all the car out there running round coils,ever 1949 to 1955 fords.
The early coils should be rebuilt.
