I just aquired a 1946 AC model c and need some help. The tractor has no spark. It has a magneto with a 6 volt coil. There is a hole in the side of the magneto that has a wire running from the small terminal on coil running through the hole and going to the points. It has the high tension lead from coiling running through this hole and going to the brass rod in the cap of the mag. I know this was how people used to do it in a pinch. The mag is missing the internal coil. I have a good coil from another fm mag that I am going to put in. What do I do with the open hole in the side of the mag? I knoe that they are suppose to have a terminal for grounding it, but it is missing. Where do I get the kill terminal? What does it connect to inside the mag? Does anyone out there have a good used distributor? How do I do the 12 volt conversion and keep the original switches?

JR,
We do complete mag rebuilding and repair. Also sell Fairbanks Morse mag parts. We also design and sell 6V OEM replacement wiring systems, along with our 12V Conversion kits. If you're looking to change over to a distributor, we have a mag to distributor conversion kit also. We also offer it with optional electronic ignition. If interested drop us a line. Be more than happy to help you out with anything electrical that you may want or need....

If you want to convert it to distributor anyway, why not just keep the modified magneto? Sometimes the "jerry-rigging" the old-timers had to do when there was no time or money for proper repairs adds character to an old machine!

If you find out what's wrong with the setup you have (bad coil, condensor, or points), and repair it it will work just fine!
