Looking for repro FORD script coil
 

Lookinf for repro Ford Script (no oval) coil - doesn't have to be working. Anyone have one for sale? Been to the Swap Meet and not seeing one there. Would also be interested in original (no script), non-working coil/bracket.Thanks!!

Re: Looking for repro FORD script coil
 

That would be it. How much would you need for it?

$120.00 includes shipping

Re: Looking for repro FORD script coil
 

I am asking this question because I don't know the answer. Is the coil in Post #4 the one that was installed on the cars when they were built or is it an aftermarket coil?

Re: Looking for repro FORD script coil
 

The picture is aftermarket.

Re: Looking for repro FORD script coil
 

It is an aftermarket coil. It has a stamped metal sleeve around a new coil.

Re: Looking for repro FORD script coil
 

Any of these work for you?

Re: Looking for repro FORD script coil
 

Are they for sale?

Re: Looking for repro FORD script coil
 

Ford used a number of different coils during production. The early cars had script but that didn't last. The originals generally had a permanently attached bracket. Some had angled terminals and some were straight. The tube type terminal nuts were common.

I'm still using an old reproduction coil and it still works. I think I purchased in back in the late 1980s.

Yes but not sure if good! Can you test one off the vehicle?

I do it on the bench using a spare distributor.
Tom Wesenberg once posted a schematic for a tester, I searched but couldn't find it.

Found it:

If the coil is still available, I’m interested in it

Re: Looking for repro FORD script coil
 

If somebody's willing to pay shipping, I'm always happy to test coils at no charge. I have an MT-640 tester. Can check polarity, strength, and performance when heated.

Sent you a reply to forward to my email Thanks.

Re: Looking for repro FORD script coil
 

My coil or Gary's coils?

Re: Looking for repro FORD script coil
 

I have this one if someone needs it. I have no use for it so $50 would be plenty. Just pm me if you can use it. Not sure if it works.

Re: Looking for repro FORD script coil
 

I'll take you coil. Where shall I send payment?

I was using a coil like this for a long time, but last week it died - the secondary winding is open. Is there any possible way to repair it? Is that sleeve that holds the top in place soldered on? Or should I just toss it?

Re: Looking for repro FORD script coil
 

The amount of work to repair a coil is likely way out of proportion to its value. Remember the components are (best case) immersed in oil or (worst case) sealed in hardened epoxy.

Re: Looking for repro FORD script coil
 

Doug, Empty the can and put a new coil inside. Find a new coil that fits inside. I think most of the ones that you can buy from the dealers will fit.

Re: Looking for repro FORD script coil
 

What does the circled SP on the coil represent? I assume a manufacturer?

Ye Olde Standard Products (now Standard Motor Products)

"The originals generally had a permanently attached bracket. " - the one on my car is like this. (March 1928)

Re: Looking for repro FORD script coil
 

Is this repro coil still available?

Re: Looking for repro FORD script coil
 

Is your repro coil still available?

Re: Looking for repro FORD script coil
 

I have one that I would also sell for $50 plus postage (probably under $10 in a small box), since that seems to be the going rate for these rare script coils on this website. There are no dents. I don't know if it works, but I have no reason to think it doesn't. $50 as is plus postage, working or not, rain or shine, pretty much cleaned to bare metal.

Most of the original coils I've seen will work when you get started but lose strength quickly as they heat up.
