Darned if I can find any pics, schematics etc etc ANY help would be most appreciated in terms of resources, pics, diagrams etc etc thank you, Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Straight eight Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Here are 2 more diagrams. Hope they help, they are from a 52 manual,but appear to be the same, At least they can be a guide.Cliff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pirate Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 A 47 Buick coil is unique in their wire configuration and a lot of these cars no longer have the origional coil. On a 1947 coil the primary wire post (that is armored and goes to the ignition switch) is located on the bottom of the coil. The primary wire going to the distributor points and the wire leading to the distributor cap are both located in the top of the coil. The armored wire faces toward the firewall while the other 2 wires face forward. The coil is mounted on a bracket right next to the right side (passanger side) horn. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobcanuck Posted June 9, 2012 Author Share Posted June 9, 2012 Thanks to everyone for their replies ... true, I do not get the opportunity to "be here" all that frequently. I'm located in Montreal. Cliff - thank you sincerely for the schematics ... great help!! Matt - I believe that I have the correct mount for the coil (on the firewall) but have no idea how the coil attaches to the mount ! A pic or drawing would be a great help... Anyone know where I can source a clutch pushrod (from equaliser to fork), used or new ...? once again, thank you...

61polara Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Hear are pictures of the coil on my '47 Roadmaster. The shielded cable goes through the rubber gromet in the firewall. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
