Coil winding wire sizes changes with needs and output requirements. Center steel laminets wire size ( as well as position some put primary windings in the center and other makers put it on the outside) . Each coil has a inductor rating for the job. The low compression of the flatheads make this a easy job for most coils.... |

Re: options for electronic ignition conversion on my '41
Guys, it seems like the preference for electronic vs. stock ignition is highly personal, with undying fans on each side......a little like the 6 volts vs. 12 volts conversion pros and cons.
I have both electronic and "conventional" or stock ignitions on my cars. When the electronic (Pertronix) failed, my solution was AAA with the roll back to get back to my house where I could fix it. Carrying a spare distributor etc. and changing it roadside isn't my idea of a good time, but I could do it and admire those who do. I love the electronic ignition that the PO put on the car that has it.....12 volts and instant starts etc. I also love the 6 volt conventional...Bubba crab and Skip coil... that's on the the car set up that way. So, to each his own...and I am thankful we have the options and the tech support to keep each one going!! |

Re: options for electronic ignition conversion on my '41
I want to thank everyone for the replies and suggestions. I beleive for now I'm going to stay with the stock set up. I've ordered a service manual and hope I can get educated on how to service it.
Thanks again, |

Re: options for electronic ignition conversion on my '41
A good plan that's not dependent on the type of ignition you choose.

Re: options for electronic ignition conversion on my '41
The resistance needs to be correct for the module requirements. I think 1.5
All the failures I have seen were using the wrong coil.
