Default Re: The Model A Ignition System

Thanks Tom, To the electricaly chalenged, it is good to see the "but" enter the discussion. This once again proves that no two people can explain electrical systems without getting more data added to the original post. Its a gift some got at birth, I'm one that was shorted.

The Chicagoland MG club article also suggests that you can use an analog voltmeter to test the polarity, which is true and easy to do, but I would suggest also using a high ohm resistor between the meter leads so you don't peg the needle or damage the meter. Something like a 100K ohm resistor will work fine.
