I'm expecting my new sports coil from George any day now. The "A" is positive ground and I seem to remember that the new coils have a (+) and (-) designation instead of SW and CB. My reading of the m

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

Can't argue with that. If the stock system is good enough, no need for the high capacity coil. If the new coil gives performance gains, then I think it is safe to say the old coil was NOT adequate. A

The 'Hall Effect' is the name given to the principle discovered by a chap called, oddly enough, Dr. Hall. It is used in distributors that have a chopper-plate inside instead of points, switching on a

Actually, this is somewhat wrong. I think you are confusing optical type "chopper" systems (like Crane/Allison) with Hall effect types, like Lucas/Pertronix. Optical sensors use a chopper disc, which
