1940 356 ignition coil. I am having a problem which I originally thought was fuel system but everything checks out and beginning to suspect the coil and the points and condenser. Car starts fine drives a little and then quits like it is out of gas. After it cools off a few minutes, it will start again. Points and condenser sre easy enough. What do I do about that coil with the armored wire coming out the back going I think to the ignition switch. NOS are available for the cost of your first born. Will the back of that coil come off and then you can splice the wire around to the terminal on the new coil?
