On my 45-2N I run a 12V, positive ground generator, wuth voltage regulator and a 6volt (1.5 ohm) coil, with 2 resistors (!2 to 6 volt, ballast resistor. I like this setup, as the front mount coil is subject to intense heat from the radiator and this keeps it cooler. Ialso get 12volt hotter spark at cold statup. The positive ground also directs the spark to the center electrode of the sparkplugs. Points have also faired well in this setup. On my Ford 600 sidemount, I however run a true 12volt coil, with ballast resistor (don't really need it), with switched wires on coil for changing polarity, as I use a Neg ground polarity alternator, with internal regulator. This setup also has all the good characteristics, as above. The "Tin can sidemount can stand the heat better.

On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
