Somewhere down the line a remote coil conversion kit was put on my '41, I had Skip rebuild a coil for me so I want to put it back more original, car is 6 volt positive ground. I am missing the screws to mount coil (10-32x1-1/2?) and how to wire this up. Which wires go where on coil?, Condensor mounting? If you have any pictures it would help.
Thanks

You should be able to get the screws at any ACE, Loew's or H Depot.

There should only be one wire feeding the coil.
Keep the wire from loom to coil the rest is history.

My ACE had them in brass.

How about Condensor mounting I have one from Tubman, see picture in post#1

You can mount it horizontally on one of the screws that secure the coil. If you need a longer lead, let me know and I'll make you one.

A stock condenser would be easier

Before I apply the juice, look at my photo and see if it looks ok

That looks ok ,at some point I would sollder the wires

Starts and runs, I'll solder it up next. Thanks

Also make sure the resistor under the dash is in the wire going to the new coil. Full 6 volts will damage your new coil. It may have gotten bypassed when the adapter and later coil was installed.
