Mac's Auto Parts

Does anybody have any experience using the "new" 37 ford 6 volt tall type ignition coil (78-12036-A) from Mac's?

I used one while my original coil was being rebuilt by Skip Haney and it worked like a champ....

I stopped using them. They couldn't get an order right. No better under the new name only faster shipping wrong parts.

I too only had bad experience with them.

And what was the problem with the ("new" 37 ford 6 volt tall type ignition coil (78-12036-A)??

The coil they sell is made by Dennis Carpenter. They seem to be very hit or miss. The primary resistance of the older ones was considerably off, however I think they have fixed the issues with them. Just my 2 cents is that I’d much prefer a skip Haney coil

My problem was not with the ""new" 37 ford 6 volt tall type ignition coil (78-12036-A), it was with Mac's in general. Sorry if there was any confusion.

Have used two of these and have worked well over the last couple of years in cars which don't do large mileages. Regards, Kevin.
