The Ford Barn

I have friend with a ‘35 convertible sedan.
We put the correct ‘35 distributor on it and had some trouble when it got hot.
I then installed a remote coil kit.
Then it wouldn’t restart when it was hot unless we waited a half hour.
So we tried a new remote coil. Was ok for a while but we could never count on it restarting when hot. We ended up changing the coils three times.
The owner sent the original Ford coil to Skip. That was 5 or more years ago.
The old bugger now starts right away, hot or cold ever since.
The story of the moral is: don’t waste your time with NAPA coils. Use a “Skip’s” coil.
