Default Coil mounting

Thanks Terry and Keith. The Canadian engine is a Mercury too. The bracket you show looks different from the one in the spares book and your diagrams do not show the extended air cleaner housing over top of the generator which I think would foul the arrangement shown - I need to check my truck today (cab 12). I'm sure I can rig something to fit. I have been using a "normal" cylindrical coil to date.

Another question - I assume that this proper Ford coil as shown in your diagrams needs the externally mounted ignition coil resistor in circuit? The modern 6V coils do not need that resistor.

Final question - which manuals have these good diagrams that you have reproduced?
