To be honest Mark I'm not sure. It checked we the guy that I bought the truck from and he told me he put the cut in the line to extend the wire when he redid the front wire harness. I decided to put the resistor in the line and I also remove the large plug on the top of the distributor in the...

After reading everything all of you guys had to say I think I've settled on my solution. I checked the volts running through the line going to the coil and I am getting 28 volts. I think this may have been a problem for a while on this truck. The truck was owned by a fire department in Vermont...

I appreciate all the input and I still have a few things tom check. I have a coil coming from another supplier and will be checking the ohms to see if there is a difference from the ones I have. I am also trying to find a resistor that will work to see if that helps. I did take a reading at...

Bill, is the Alan Bowes article on Steel Soldiers? I would like to read it so I can learn a little more. As a side note, the first time I replaced a coil was on my M37 which had the "wafer" onder the coil. Thanks, Jim

Now I am really confused. I checked the new coils I bought from the guy on Ebay and they all three check in at 5-6 ohms. I checked the 2 that got fried last Sunday while driving to a show and they also read 6 ohms. Is it possible once they cooled down they return to a somewhat usable point...

I just checked a couple of coils I bought form a guy on Ebay. If I am using the device correctly I am getting 5-6 ohm's accross the polls. Did I get screwed and should I sndn these back and get my money? Thanks

How should I go about checking the regulate and generator? The truck has the original 24 volt system and all the wiring is closed. Can I check the output of the regulator by connecting to the wire coming from the on/off switch? Thanks, Jim

I have an original M43 and I have been going through coils like water. At first it only happened if the ignition switch was left on with the engine off. Today I burned up 2 coils while driving the truck to a show. They went while the truck was traveling at 45 MPH. Is it possible that the...
