Re: Coil Placement on a 1936 120

Here's what the '38 ignition switch looked like on the back:
The shielded cable is part of the rear of the switch. Everything is pot metal and crimped together. It was a real chore getting the back off. I couldn't get the shielded cable undone from the rear plate, so I just cut it.
I couldn't get the wire out of the rest of the cable since it was melted in place. So I ended up using a bare wire instead.
I ended up drilling and tapping the brass where the original wire attached. That was tough to do. I was unable to solder to it.
I had to cut of the back of the ignition switch so there would be no shorting against the wire.
The switch is back in place and so far has given me no issues. I don't want to do that job again though.
