Thank you so much! I will order those two pieces and continue to research my problems
I don't worry that its 12v? I am not understanding
Like this?
Dumb question, is the Bosch blue a 12v coil?
After the motor spit & sputtered: the coil, condensor, ballast resistor, solonoid, was replaced with new. The points where replaced. Would you...

My mess
Nothing fancy
Just a reg key switch. I will say after looking at picture, and what I had, I had run the one to coil via ballast resistor, to the start trigger...
Is that within the coil\distributor? I have only one wire that goes to the, condensor/coil/distributor and it comes from ballast resistor in cab.
Ok sir, on 6 cylinders I have 100 on 2 I have 90, fuel is in the oil. So I have drained oil and left plugs out of cylinders.
1- to battery 1-to starter 1-goes to ballast resistor with 12.92v 1-nothing attached. Is this right?
Thank you, I can do that. Appreciate you keeping it simple. My friend did the compression, but in probably didn't understand. I will go get a...
Sir mine doesn't look like that. It looks kinda like a turtle shell, held on by 3 bolts, condensor between it and block. Post is between the coil...
Okay, I Now have spark to plug when held against head, I have fuel in the carb and you can smell it, plugs smell of it, I believe when we checked...
Ok what's your 5 min of steps? Fuel? Yes 2.5-3 psi to carb via manual gauge Power? Yes 12.92V to coil (this seams to hi) Spark? Yes but seams to...
Okay, I didn't realise that about the 6v coil. That settles my mind alittle
Thanks so much!! Is that last recommendation called " Remote ignition coil adapter" . I don't mind things changing and would prefer simplicity....
So I've seen those before but was working with what I have,,,,but that was working but won't now. So maybe knows the time. Lol
JD now is sick with Covid, and this flathead is not on his mind.
Gas, yes fresh, 10 gals, 2.5-3psi fuel pressure at carb 12.92V taken at solonoid, at ballast resistor, at condensor/coil/distributor. I believe...
Yes sir I did, JD is a flathead v8 ford guy, he rebuilt the distributor and the carb. In my pee brain I imagine something stupid. Kinda like...
Yes sir I have 13.21V at battery, at solonoid, and at ballast resistor Yes sir it will turn over but won't start I am trying to fix but also learn
I have a 1931 Dodge Hot Rod with a 1935 Flathead V8 (21 stud)& 3spd manual. I bought it like this a year ago, running and driving, no issues that...
