    641 6 volt coil question

    As for it working, I can't say for how long. All I've done is start it to see if the circuits were correct. It would start and run fine on a full 12 volts though. How long? I doubt very long without burning the points. Right now, it is sitting in the barn with the hood off and I'm waiting...

    641 6 volt coil question

    I can't say, but I can say is that the one I got looks exactly like the one in your picture. YT Label reads: Coil Resistor, New, Ford, 8NE103 It also says it is made in India. Oh yeah, YT also says ASAP#105710 & PC#:RB1001 Mfg Dt : December 25

    641 6 volt coil question

    If I understand it correctly, all I have to do is reverse the low tension wires. I've already done that and it starts and runs fine

    641 6 volt coil question

    Gotta love those 455's. I have one out of a 69 98LS. We bought it from a friend with about 60k on it and drove it to a little over a hundred thousand miles and the timing chain jumped and I said, heck, it's got a hundred thousand, it's ready for an overhaul. I pulled it out looked at the...

    641 6 volt coil question

    How many ohms is it? I'm not trying to start an argument, I want to know. YT says .8 ohms. That doesn't seem like enough.

    Anybody ever seen one of these?

    They should put a warning label on this thing that there are some things a man should not do on it.

    641 6 volt coil question

    I didn't buy the complete kit as I have plenty of alternators lying around. I did buy two of the resistors and one coil with a resistor. As close as I can tell they measure about .8 ohm. Definitely less than one. I don't think that is enough. I'll see. My 961 has one of those resistors and...

    641 6 volt coil question

    Huh? Model T Fords were negative ground - after they got electric starters. Ford switched to positive ground with the Model A's. I have a 29 Chevy that is negative ground. I'm pretty sure that GM was always negative ground.

    641 6 volt coil question

    I hear ya, but I was more interested in the way it was marked. If this coil was put on a '53 Chevy, and hooked up the way it was marked, it wouldn't be correct as Chevy was negative ground. I wonder if NAPA would sell you a different coil in 1953 for a Chevy than a Ford. I was to young in...

    641 6 volt coil question

    I'm in the process of converting my 641 to 12 volt after my 6 volt battery went kapoot. I took the coil off to just clean all the oil and dirt off of it and found that the two low volt connectors are labeled Dist. & Bat. I have never had much reason to pay attention to the coils on my stuff...

    Anti-freeze

    You are correct, You're the first person I've ever seem mention that. Years ago, I had a JD A. I dumped in the antifreeze and filled it up with water ans started it up. It soon boiled. I drained the radiator and poured it back in and no problem.

    Todays funny

    I doubt it. They would be in their 70's today. How many 70+ year old women have you seen with tattoos, nose rings or green hair recently.

    641 to 12 volt question

    Thanks, I had hoped it would. Yup, on the resistor and reversing the wires on the coil.

    641 to 12 volt question

    My 6 volt battery quit and I feel this is a good time to switch to 12 volt. I have gobs of 10DN's and regulators, so the alternator isn't a problem. A pulley? I can come up with a correct one from somewhere. The solenoid? That is my question. Will the 6 volt solenoid hold up with 12 volts...
