    Finally got my 9mm plug wire from Brillman’s yesterday, so I installed
    it on the A-45 Johnson today.
    The one secondary coil tab was broke off and missing, so I made
    a new one out of copper, soldered it on, and drilled holes in each
    tab for the plug wires to poke thru to make soldering them on easier.
    So for so good, as the coil still tested okay with the ohm meter
    when I was done. Perhaps tomorrow I’ll see if I have “spark”.

    I did not fill the cavity below the coil back up with tar, but
    I installed “fish” paper below and around the secondary
    connections, and put a little corona dope around them.
