History Vintage coil pic thread

how about a coil with the key built in?

 

sorry for the large pics, still working thru the new site settings

 

Left is a Blue Flash made by Connecticut Tel. & Elec. Corp.
The middle and right are Thermo Deep River Mfg Co.
The middle one reminds me of Robby the Robot from Lost in Space

 

OK, What do I have here?

 

Judson "electronic" coil. You can hook it up like a regular coil and run it

 

I have a Mallory C 5000 like the upper left photo in post 5. Does it matter which way it is mounted? Looks like it should be mounted with the wires down. Any idea on when these were made.

 

Thanks EV88F. I did some research and found the original 1962 installation instructions too.

 

The wife & kids surprised me with this for Father's Day;

 

A bit of British. JW

 

@Carter, this is all your fault. After you ID'd those coils in our photo thread as DSMs and posted up pics of yours, I had to have one. The wife happened to look over my shoulder as I was admiring them and next thing I know one shows up at my door

 

Haha, glad I could be of assistance! Yours is a bit nicer than mine, though.

@62pan , Ken, I don't think anyone answered your question yet. If I remember, I had mine mounted ceramic up, but I'd have to look back through my build thread pictures to be certain. I can check to see if the instructions were still in the box mine came in, I think they may be. If so, I'll let you know if it says anything about mounting position.

 

A couple of my coils:

The Mallory "Best" coil currently on my tub:


...and the pre-war Mallory-Holley "Master" that will be replacing it:

Here is mine with a msd blaster hidden inside.

 

This coil was given to me by an old friend when I worked at the dealership.
He was a drag racer in the 60s and 70s
And has since pasted away.

 

Boy, if that thing works, its REAL Rare...

 

Here's the one my Dad gave me to put on a bike i'm building

 

BigD, can you give a quick description of how you altered your coil? I've been considering different ways to hide my blaster's mildly modern looks.

thats cool indeed! I dig it lots, wish it was mine.

 

nothing really special, filko was just a big aftermarket replacement parts company, im sure it was just a stock replacement coil, with a cool label
