Funny thing is he took it off when I told him "that coil is 86 years old"!!!!

I've had good luck with the old slant pole coils . I've bought rusty , dented slant pole coils at swap meets for as little as five dollars each . After a good clean up all of the old coils have worked , so far. The service bulletins mention carbon tracks that can extend from the tower up to the metal trube of the coil and short out . I think that the carbon tracks is about all that ever goes wrong . The tracks can usually be scraped off with a pocket knife and all will be good again . The original model A coils are tar filled and sometimes called solid coils . The old guys , way back when use to tell me that coils seldom if ever gave problems .
