    It's ready to go... for now. A fresh engine is in the works, with an Edmunds head and Mallory dual-point distributor.

    Mallory Best Coil Resto

    A small project that might be of interest... I kept running across these Mallory coils at swap meets and was never able to find one that worked....

    The coil was disassembled by using a rotary grinding disk to cut the metal ring that crimps the assembly together. The old core was removed and the bakelite housing was cleaned up.

    A 6V coil was found that fit inside the original Mallory housing.

    A sleeve was needed to fit the new coil into the Mallory housing. I fabricated the sleeve from a section of exhaust pipe tubing. A nut was welded to the sleeve that would be used to clamp the split ring that retains the coil core in the housing.

    ...a detail showing how the clamp ring is being retained. The screw will be positioned on the underside of the coil when mounted-- not visible.

    The original porcelain insulator needed to be modified to clear the terminal posts on the new coil. A little work with the die grinder and an abrasive bit did the job.

    So, here's the final assembly. Not shown, the clamp ring and original mounting bracket were media blasted and refinished with Eastwoods Silver CAD rattle can paint-- a close approximation of the original finish.

    This is a good shot of the finished project. On the Packard Eight, the coil will be mounted in this orientation.

    Testor's enamel was mixed to match the color of the original Mallory core and sprayed with an airbrush.

    The housing was polished with Wenol metal polish. It does a nice job of bringing a shine back to weathered bakelite.

    History 15 year search finally pays off!

    Nice find. The 2-door is really sweet-looking. I have plenty of parts, if you're still looking, including a restored steering wheel. PM me a list...
