Reply To: Ranger coil options?

[billw]

Being a Merc guy at heart, I already have a bunch of those coils in the basement. So how would you attach it to the existing lamination? Somehow use it in it’s original shape or cut out the center and attach it Bendix style, with clips?

I took my points all apart and cleaned them thoroughly. Then I reassembled and tested them with a meter. When open, the circuit is OL as it should be. When closed, it is basically the same resistance as my meter leads themselves, about 0.02. When I ohm-test the secondary part of my coil, it is open. My condenser tests like brand new on my Stevens magneto analyzer.

I will try Doug Penn for the arm. I know of him, but have never had to use his services, until now, I guess. You’re right, I forgot about the spring, which I would also need. Thanks for the good suggestion!

Long live American manufacturing!
