The yellowed page is from the Model K owners manual. The patent drawings are for a magneto. I suspect Ford copied the patent drawings for the "K" manual, neglecting to change the drawing from four to six cylinder.
Do you think these drawings are for the same magneto seen in the Ford drawing?
Thanks,
Rob
2 different magnetos. Upper is a Holley Model K.
Layden, can you point out the differences? Do you think both are high tension?
Thanks,
Rob
The Model T Magneto was Patented by Edward S. "Spider" Huff and can be found by doing a Google Patent Search.
