Help with Ignition System
I am getting towards the end of my 221ci Flathead V8 engine rebuild and have a question about HT lead conduits. Could anyone be kind enough to post any images from wartime manuals?
I have a set of British conduits which due to the odd placement of holes I think is for the Lucas Distributor. The ones test fitted in the photo below came from a post 1942 engine with the Crab Distributor as fitted to mine. What I am trying to get to the bottom of is why there are only two holes in the conduit for three plugs (fourth comes out of the end - British conduit has three holes) and what the holes on the inside are for? One hole may be for the lead from the coil down to the Distributor.... which brings me on to the location of the coil, I have a special bracket for mounting the bakalite 'Ford' coil above the front of the LH head, whas this ever used in war spec engines? Does anyone have details for the normal layout of the HT system on these 1942-45 USA manufactured engines? I am hoping for parts book images
