Re: car died, starts later
I thought they were some sort of high voltage bulb.

Re: car died, starts later
I went to the Ax-Man surplus store today, but couldn't find any neon lights.
If you go to the electrical section of Menards or a hardware store, check for a circuit tester, as they also have a neon bulb. |

Re: car died, starts later
Here you go, neon bulbs with the resistors for less than a nickel each.

Re: car died, starts later
The high voltage is enough to make it light without a ground wire. I've even held one end of a fluorescent tube to a spark plug and made it light up.

Thank you, I never would have thought of that.

Re: car died, starts later
I managed to purchase some from Evil-Bay. Already have a bunch of clear tubes. Now I'll try to make some spark testers.

Re: car died, starts later
Getting Back to the original thread (late in my case)
My Model A did the same thing -eventually traced it to a faulty ignition switch that was jiggling closed on me. Replaced this and no problems since . The other thing to check is that the ignition terminals are not intermittently grounding on the gas tank behind the dash -Karl |
