    I certainly don’t know everything; but I have seen a lot of old Mercurys and never a coil like what Frank’s link has. Are those supposed to bolt onto a Phelon mag base plate? Phelon laminations are machined while attached to the base plate; so when you change a Phelon coil, you usually just change the winding assembly, not the whole thing with the lamination. The laminations are also held on by only two screws, not three, which are 1/4-20 thread. In Frank’s link, those are what I think are the Mercury aftermarket part number for an OMC coil. Crosbyman, I would sure love to see a picture of YOUR mag.

    Long live American manufacturing!
