Dear: is writing from ARGENTINA. We (my sidekick) achieved a coil and magnet tester "Allen Electric" (I put the photo at the bottom) and wanted to know if anyone can guide me with manuals or instructions for use of this equipment. from already thank you very much, (sorry for my English!)
Hello Marcello.
You will find a manual at this website, and your English is good! That is a very nice tester.

The link Garnet supplied is to a Ford publication for using the Ford hand cranked coil tester. Many companies made these units and they are all basically the same.
Here is a photo of a restored unit similar to yours.
If you need help repairing Model T coils see the three part coil rebuilding CD the MTFCA sells.

p.s Where do you live in Argentina?
Welcome Marcello,
Here is another site that has good overall instructions and for coil rebuilding and setting.

Also the Model T Ford Service Manual has some info:

And there is a popular three part DVD set that covers coils:

Feel free to ask any specific questions if you have any.
Good luck,
Jim
