Before you go chopping up your Elto coil, have you checked it out to see if all you need to do is re-wire it? Simply meter the spark plug wires and see if you have continuity. If so, then there is no need to gut a perfectly good coil and install a Zephyr coil. I have had several Ruddertwins and I had good coils in all of them. It is very easy to replace the spark plug wires, install new wiring and removing the old condenser from the potted material. In the April 2006 issue of the Antique Outboarder, Sam Vance has a wonderful "how to" article for the very same issue.
