Re: New to Model Ts - Problems solved (no start, misfire)

Thought I'd add a couple of images of the bad coil box that was replaced. Pretty obvious that it needed replacing once we figured it out.

Re: New to Model Ts - Problems solved (no start, misfire)

You don't need much more than a plastic bar or wood on top of the coils (I'll add some dimensions later) if you can clip the lid down. Yup, riding around in a T always brings smiles and if your lucky you get the right of way while they gawk at it. :lol: Thanks, that would be great as the top fits a...

I apologize for the long post but this forum has been a great help for me and I really wanted to give back in a way that might help others try to keep these great machines going. Quick history, several months ago, a neighbor had a Model T pulled out of storage and paid to have a mechanic work it bac...
