Rather than send the question directly to Russ, I'll post it here in case others are interested too. After working on the head and checking whether it works with a reverse drill, I reinstalled it in the car and tried it out today when I drove to town for groceries. It works, but reads low. With GPS showing 32 mph the speedometer shows about 20....

Ford Motor Co. began selling cars in July 1903. The company experienced immediate success, and sold almost 200 cars by the start of their first full fiscal year, beginning October 1, 1903. The Electric Vehicle Co. wasted little time initiating a law suit. This author indicates the suit is expected to last for years. He was right.

Ford only used this coil box for one year. They used mica pieces below the common grounding strip on the bottom to insulate the ground from the mag and battery wires. These mica pieces appear to be about 1 1/8 to 1 1/4 square, and about .030 thick. Does anyone know if mica is available like that?
