Coil Resistor
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

Re: Coil Resistor
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.

Re: Coil Resistor
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!

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

Re: Coil Resistor
I finally got my picture loaded but was way slow. Thanks for the better picture. I noticed yours was a Vanpelt Sales. I much prefer an old model unit but will check Vanpelt Sales.

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.

Re: Coil Resistor
I appreciate that you were willing to help. I just hit 79 and still gathering junk. Of course, just after you discard it, someone will contact you about it. Never fails. Thanks again and have a good day.

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.

Re: Coil Resistor
Randy, the unit you seek is 1940. Do you still need one?

Re: Coil Resistor
Kube, The one that I am looking for is PN 01A-12250-A. I had to replace the small coil resistor on my unit with a repop. I hope to find a complete original unit to use as a backup. If I find any I will be glad to contact you.
