Magneto Post needed
I am needing a Magneto Post for my 1919 Model T. When it was purchased from a neighbor, it didn't have a Magneto post, the spot where the post would go is capped off.

Re: Magneto Post needed
Have you checked to see if your car has the magneto magnets etc in it. Does the car have ford coils or a distributor of some kind?

Do your self a favor, add an outside oil line. Solve 2 problems at once.

Re: Magneto Post needed
David,
I’d sell you this perfectly made repro mag Post I just removed - for what the vendors charge. The gasket is attached and includes the 3 screws. It worked great and my roadster ran strong on mag, I removed it to install this extremely poorly made mag post with an outside oil line. See how I had to grind on it to make it fit? I have original accessory mag posts, outside oil lines on all my Model T except this one. But the T still runs strong with this ugly mag post and I also receive a great deal of oil to #1 bearing.
…But I’d second Dan’s suggestion above.
