I have a 1926 which I'm trying to start and I can only get spark to one plug. I can get all 4 coils sparking with lid off coil box and testing with test light - all four coils are working. However, I can only get my test light to light up on one of the connections on the outside of coil box.
Thanks in advance for your help,

Spark was barely visible one outside connection of coil box. I switched coils and same thing---very weak spark. I rebuilt coil-box with John Reagan's kit and that fixed it. His kit is great, well made, and a snap to install!!! THANKS John

By john kuehn on Sunday, September 04, 2016 - 08:22 pm:Probably the coil box. If you want to use your old coil box and the wood is still good change out ALL of the screws used in the box. The seem to loose their conductivity no matter how much you clean them. Put in some new ones and it will make a BIG difference in how your T runs.
Or you can buy a rebuild kit from John Regan and be done with it.
