Re: The End Of Prufrex OMC Coils?

[wedgie]

I bought a few also and found the same issues. What I did was to knock the coils off their laminates with a big punch and swap the old laminates into the new coils. You have to be a bit careful so as not to mangle the old laminates. I put a smear of jb weld on the center pole and slid the new coil on. The too-long wires can be shortened, but I found the green wire is long enough that it can be wrapped around under the condenser mounting tab. This is actually a good thing ’cause it keeps the wire from making contact with the points cam. The black wire can be twisted and tucked in between the coil and the heel on one side. The ring terminal is just big enough for the points screw… at least on the ones I got. Next time I will probably just get the Prufex from Jim if still available.

Oh yeah, I just use the original screws too. 😉
