These days, we know to send the failed original coils to Skip Haney, who promptly returns them rebuilt, ready for another 70 years of service.

Truer words never spoken...
I recall clearly driving a fresh '40 convertible to the Indianapolis Meet in '92(?) About every fifty miles, the car would start stuttering. Pull over and swap the coil and go another fifty or so.
Kept swapping the two coils I had all the way there and back. About 700+ miles round trip.
Yeah, I had some learnin' to do.
