Well as I said I ordered three and that was on 02/11/18. Was checking if they had arrived yet at my US mail box and they had not and now I find that Amazon cancelled the order! What kind of BS is that???

Bubba, could you let us know when these are on sale again? I'm rather seriously PO'd!

With all due respect, Bubba is not your nanny!

I'm perfectly aware of that but being that he stated that he watches for these and was kind enough to notify us in the first place I say it is a simple and respectful request.

And with all due respect you aren't my nanny either! In reality I don't have a nanny nor have met either one of mine. LOL

I got one, but what I am going to do with it? All my old stuff is 6 volt, and the new cars are all "Coil-on-plug". Oh well, I DID get a smokin' deal.

Bubba,

Got the Bosch coil...thanks for the heads up. Got a couple of questions:

1. Can the coil be mounted horizontally?
2. Is a resistor needed or is it internally resisted?

Not Bubba, but 1) Yes 2) No. It's a ~3 ohm coil, no ballast resistor required.

Yeah, the flattie has been converted....well at least the generator has.

I should be able to run a '36 helmet distributor (11A internals) on 12 volts...right.

Here's a video of it running, hope I'm not burning the points or anything. The distributor does has the external coil 'converter' in place of the distributor top coil.
