I am looking for original coil resistor and the accompanying board. I used a repop and had issues. 1939 Flathead v8 still original. Do you have them for sale or know of a source? Many Thanks

I got a new type. That works well from NAPA. Check the prices as they go from $5 to really high for the same item. I have an original out of a 39 Ford but dont know its condition. I went nuts trying find the ignition problem on my 40. Turned out to be an intermittant bad resistor, Would run good for a while but then crap out. Never failed enough to be able to diagnois the problem.

My truck just stopped getting fire and we traced it to the coil resistor. It was a repop and a soldered wire had come loose. I just want to get away from the repop items if I can. Ug!

This what you're looking for? I took it off my running '39 p/u when I converted to 12 volts.

51504, The picture you show is a Vibrator type circuit breaker. I need the Thermostatic and Magnetic Type Circuit Breaker. Sorry,I couldn’t upload a picture.

Sorry it won't work for you. Mine has been gathering dust on the shelf and has been to at least 4 swap meets without anyone showing any interest at all. So it's bound for the trash bin. I've been thinning the herd as well as of late and in the process of a metal run. Hate to get rid of something that might be of value to someone down the road. But at 72 I can't keep everything and leave it for my son to deal with.

I would not use a Repo they are not very good. I only use the original get them tested.

Fred Wilner Barnfind, but he just got out of hospital may take a little time for him to get up and running again. He's got about everything.
