I have a 1933 model B car.
The wire out of the center of the coil is approx 1/4 tan woven cloth
this extends thru the firewall for approx 2 ft at that point there is junction that the distributer coil connects to. Also there is a small guage wire included in the tan material coated wire from the coil the attaches to the lower distributer body?
I was questioning this because there is electrical tap holding this juncture together 10 inches from the distributer. I question the integrity of the connection perhaps something can loose here.
I will first replace my ignition coil....I have another one.
I suspect the coil because of the deadness all of a sudden in my ammeter.
If the coil were active and not open or shorted there would have to be current surging thru if as the ignition switch is turned and starter, i believe.
