Dead Pertronix Coil

[Bill Goddard]

After reading many posts on this forum in the past months I have learned that oil-filled coils should be mounted terminals up on an A. If they are tar or epoxy-filled they can be mounted either way. Original Ford A coils were tar filled and - I assume - were mounted terminals down because they fit better under the hood. My coil is a $15 oil-filled and is mounted terminals up. I just did this recently and will report results in about 5 years.
