Re: 40 Ford Ignition Woes

Does this mean either type is ok for the 47 crab as long as you run the right rotor for a given cap?

Re: 40 Ford Ignition Woes

Where is the best place to buy a new cap and rotor for the 47 crab? I think that is the problem.

Re: 40 Ford Ignition Woes

Re: 40 Ford Ignition Woes

The resistor is bypassed but we are running a 6v coil that doesn't require a resistor from Napa.

It's a crab distributor. I think the resistor has been bypassed. I will have my son check it out tonight. Will let you know what we find. Thanks!
