Is this mallory specific on polarity, my stock 35 coil has the crack was wondering if that renders it useless thanx again. Pete.

My coil has 6-v in the circle but there is a copper tang that has what looks like the symbal for neg grnd I am set up pos. grnd thanks for the help,if any body knows if the crack in my original coil makes it non rebuildable please let me know thanks pete.

Hello I was hoping someone could let me know if this old coil has a good Reputation ,It is a old mallory 6 volt magspark also is there one for pos. grnd and one for neg. grnd.It is a box type coil plastic or bakelite it has two ballast resistors on it,was going to use it on my 35 dive bell dist...

Fht I will try the 18 volts. report back later.

I did check the valves and they were going up and down and the seats looked fine,I think if any thing the rings could be stuck,going to get a good compression gauge and check comp.

Thanx g.m. I did try starting fluid and not a pop,The firing order is right all connections are good and it has spark my compression gauge is junk but i got compression trying to blow my finger off the holes, I guess i should get a good compression gauge.I am getting fuel both carbs are...

A frames are known to rust in this area have you checked under the mounts? seems like it should not be sagging at all.

Well here it is,I have a 21a it was rebuilt many years ago.I took it apart and checked it out,i did not pull any pistons because everything looked all right I did check a bearing. The Cam and valves looked good and the cylinders have a slight ridge,seemed alright to me.I put it back together a...
