I read the part about the inverted coil in the TM. Sounds like it only applies to one of the two brands of EI that were used. After thinking about it, I will probably stick with points, since it is the path of least resistance for me. If it gives trouble, I may make the switch. Thanks for...

That bad, eh? Do they just cook the modules from cylinder head heat?

I've seen the kits available to convert the 4A032 engines to Electronic Ignition. How well do these work? Are there any common failure modes? I notice that there are no instructions with the kits I've seen from several sources, but I assume that I could piece the info together from the TM, is...

I just picked one of these up for a dollar(!!) After giving it a once over I wheeled it outside and fired it off. I scared the bejeezus out of myself when the burner lit, but after a few minutes it calmed down and behaved nicely. Despite semi nasty gas, it seems to run pretty good now. Does...

What a sweetheart of an old IdealArc! After seeing your photos of the inside, I have to agree with your assessment that it wasn't used much. As others have said, that machine is built much heavier than the new machines. The down side is that they use lots of juice and require heavy wire and...

elkhunter: I spent a couple of winters in Missoula and Lincoln. (No, not with Ted K!) Had a '51 Willys while I was there, Definitely should have kept it, but for some reason I decided that heat was a good thing to have in a vehicle... :roll:

It's not so much that we're giving up as moving on from the Mule! I will always have a soft spot for MV's, and I will certainly be back, even if it is only to look around.

I suspected that there was something like that in use, but wasn't sure. I appreciate your help!

I've been away from MV forums for a while. When my Dad and I bought our Mule ten years ago, there was definitely nothing like this! You've come a long way from the old e-mail and newsgroup based communities. Unfortunately, so have Dad and I, and I will be placing an ad for the Mule as soon...
