JRM359 Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 (edited) Another random part found in my late fathers random car parts collection. Not even sure if it is a car related part. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Edited April 15, 2023 by JRM359 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sagefinds Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 It is an ignition coil very close to what the Model T used. They didn't have those three studs sticking out the side however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 It looks like an aftermarket Model T coil that's been setup for an electric fence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
41 Su8 Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Possibly out of a master vibrator for a Model T. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Gregush Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Could have been made/converted for hit/miss engine or other use. Besides the Model T, they were made for other applications. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandy Dave Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 (edited) It is a common vibrating coil. I've used a lot of this type of coil on "Jump spark" ignition type one lung farm engines and on early one cylinder boat motors. Would also work on an early one cylinder auto. Basically any early engine with a spark plug. A model T Ford, Model F Fordson tractor, coil would have two lugs on the side and one on the bottom.

Manuel Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 I thought it might be Australian. The name rings a bell. Manuel in Oz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Lloyd Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 I have a different type. Does anyone know what vehicles might have used this? No operating voltage shown. The l.v. circuit resistance is about 1 ohm and the h.v. is about 5 ohms so it should be fully functional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 (edited) I've got one of those new in its box. It has a hand written tag "1942 to 1948 Ford V8". I also have a WW2 Ford V8 that was used in a small locomotive with the same shaped coil. I belive it's 6 volt. Edited January 11 by John E.
