The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Confessions of a Model A Modifier

Based on the feedback to this thread and other areas on fordbarn, I have ordered a modern water pump bearing and a Pertronix 40,000 volt Flamethrower coil.

I didn't even know the modern pump bearing existed and I think it makes sense in combination with my alternator. Even on my recently rebuilt pump I do have some vibration coming from the fan end so hopefully the new bearing will clear it up.

I very intrigued with the coil as it sounds very impressive. In fact I am wondering if I should have a fire extinquisher around when I take it out of the box. Perhaps I need to replace my normal coil wire with some high voltage cable used in high voltage electrical transmission. At any rate, I needed a spare coil for my kit.
