My Ignition
By John - 10/17/2005 9:53:59 PM; IP 142.177.109.153
Well......I am trying to keep the car looking "period", so no computer under the hood. I swapped out the dual points for a pertronix unit (which nobody can see) and it worked wonders. I have to admit, I had a nice tan colour prior to the pertronix going in, but this may have been co-incidence.....darned points constantly needed cleaning CUZ, I used a NOS Echlin 12VDC coil I had kicking around (no ballast resistor and NOT a performance coil). The major problem to me is this darned gray flawless coating on the plug tip ceramic cone. I've never seen this kind of deposit. I'm sure it's not piston aluminum cuz I had that problem once with an outboard motor and the aluminum was fused solid to the plug. In the FE case, I can easily pick it off with a fingernail.

Oh...just a footnote, I tried a Jacob's Ford Coil and the engine would barely run...maybe defective, but the Jacob's people were no help, so it was money down the drain to me.
This thread, so far...
