I have done both & they are hours & hours apart in terms of effort! [Reply]  [No Email]

How did you get a clean coil box? I am having major trouble getting the resin out of the coil box. Regards Randy [Reply]  [No Email]

After removing the old tar from where I drilled, I grabbed the top of the coil in the vise and pulled, twisted and cursed until the coil came out. I then used my heat gun and acetone to clean the rest out. I then soldered a wire onto the old points where the coil and condenser wires were. It runs great now and the spark is so much better then before. I was going to go to electronic but cant really justify the price and never really have a problem with the points. Good Luck!

This idea was on the internet about seven years ago, and at that time, the author said to open the top of the coil and put MEK in it, that the resin would get soft, and it could be removed - this did not happen for me. I sill have the directions for the rest of the procedure, and will try again. [Reply]  [No Email]
