I am looking for original coil resistor and the accompanying board. I used a repop and had issues. 1939 Flathead v8 still original. Do you have them for sale or know of a source? Many Thanks

I got a new type. That works well from NAPA. Check the prices as they go from $5 to really high for the same item. I have an original out of a 39 Ford but dont know its condition. I went nuts trying find the ignition problem on my 40. Turned out to be an intermittant bad resistor, Would run good for a while but then crap out. Never failed enough to be able to diagnois the problem.

My truck just stopped getting fire and we traced it to the coil resistor. It was a repop and a soldered wire had come loose. I just want to get away from the repop items if I can. Ug!

This what you're looking for? I took it off my running '39 p/u when I converted to 12 volts.

I would not use a Repo they are not very good. I only use the original get them tested.

I finally got my picture loaded but was way slow. Thanks for the better picture. I noticed yours was a Vanpelt Sales. I much prefer an old model unit but will check Vanpelt Sales.

Sorry it won't work for you. Mine has been gathering dust on the shelf and has been to at least 4 swap meets without anyone showing any interest at all. So it's bound for the trash bin. I've been thinning the herd as well as of late and in the process of a metal run. Hate to get rid of something that might be of value to someone down the road. But at 72 I can't keep everything and leave it for my son to deal with.

Randy1944 · 05-24-2023, 07:03 PM

I appreciate that you were willing to help. I just hit 79 and still gathering junk. Of course, just after you discard it, someone will contact you about it. Never fails. Thanks again and have a good day.

Randy1944 · 05-25-2023, 12:09 PM

Van Pelt is out of this setup. Does anyone have an original one for sale? Thanks

kurt v · 05-25-2023, 12:42 PM

Fred Wilner Barnfind, but he just got out of hospital may take a little time for him to get up and running again. He's got about everything.

Corndog on the Hamb had one listed in 2016 but did not say sold. You might check with him. Part # 01A-12250

rockfla · 05-25-2023, 03:05 PM

Come on guys......It's "REPRO" as in "reproduction" not "REPOP" as in repossession!!! Petty I know but its a pet peeve of mine!!!! Sometimes you just GOTTA!!!!

Carry on!!!

Kube · 05-25-2023, 03:15 PM

I could really use a correct '39. Any chance you didn't toss it yet?

Randy1944 · 05-25-2023, 03:33 PM

Kube, The one that I am looking for is PN 01A-12250-A. I had to replace the small coil resistor on my unit with a repop. I hope to find a complete original unit to use as a backup. If I find any I will be glad to contact you.
