Be careful not to get your hand too close to the end of the HT lead as it might bite you.

Thank you meric42 I will get on it tomorrow morning and give that a try.
I'll report back what I found.
I also see in Joe's Antique Auto Pats catalog on p. 51, the 'innards' of the ignition switch.
He shows an Ignition Switch Body part # B-3704 and also an Ignition Switch Contact Points part # B-3709 that fits '32-'37 Fords. That contact points looks interesting, looks like a thin strip of brass. I'll dig into that next. Not sure how it comes apart first time for me working on these.
Thanks again Don and Meric42!!
