Any ideas who might have rebuilt this coil?
I was sending some water pumps off to Skip Haney and thought that I would look at my coil to see about sending it at the same time. I took it off and it had three 6s around the bracket bolt hole. I talked to Skip and they were not his markings and he had no idea. He didn't think it was a good idea to send that one as he was not inclined to work on something that had already been done.
It looked to me like the coil has a newish cork gasket and non-original rivets and wire connection posts. It also had a crack in the side. I sent Skip a spare coil that I had for rebuilding, but was curious as to who, if anyone, might have rebuilt the coil that was on the truck? It generally starts right up and runs great, but I figured a coil redone by Skip is always a good idea. Do those markings look familiar to anyone? |

I'd be a little leery of a rebuilt coil marked with 666. (The sign of The Beast)

Since they are 6s it probably was Lucas.

They used to sell jars of "Genuine Lucas Electrical Smoke" on eBay. The problem was getting it back into the system.

Try turning the coil over and you will see those are 9s.

Maybe the coil is just a cheap reproduction part.

There's the famous Lucas 3 position light switch, "Off - Dim - Flicker"

If it is 9-9-9 I wonder if it belonged to Herman Cain at one time ?

Re: Any ideas who might have rebuilt this coil?
I've had three British motorcycles and I swear there were times when I was riding at night when I had to get off and strike a match to see if the headlight was on. Got tired of those and bought an American bike. I finally got smart and traded it, a "Hardly Ableson", in on a Honda never looked back.

Re: Any ideas who might have rebuilt this coil?
Hi Everyone. MS have you tried asking Skip Haney? Coils I've had done by him have engravings on them. skip at fordsrus.com Maybe shoot him a photo or two and see if he has any ideas.
