Re: New Coil

Hi Barney,

  Don't think I've ever seen a coil on which the case was electrically
connected to the windings.  Rather, the points side of the coil is
connected to both the primary and secondary windings and is grounded
through the points when they are closed.  The case is isolated from all
this.

  Interestingly, the old Harley vee twins fired the plugs on every
crankshaft rotation, so there was a wasted spark.  Harley folks averred
that the extra spark kept the plug from fouling!  Riiiigghhtt....
