It is most likely an inductor.
Ford put inductors on non-starter cars.
It was mounted on the firewall on 15-19 cars
and on the ignition switch in lieu of an ammeter on later cars without starters.

You are correct - however,
I have spent many hours chasing a bad ground to get something to work.
The steering column has a long path to ground through the column,
through the shaft,
through the steering bracket,
to the frame.
For reliability, I will usually install a wired ground.

I put "Rod Ends" on my timer and throttle.

Out of the Ashes – A HCCT Story
A couple years ago there were devastating forest fires in Eastern Washington state. A Model T friend suffered a great loss including his shop and cars. One specific casualty was his HCCT – it was burnt to a crisp. The heat was so intense that it melted all of the internals of the meter, warped the ...

Re: Ebay gripe - brass steering wheel spider
Rich,
I got it to come up with the following two searches :
Spider, Brass Era
Steering Wheel, Brass Era
My guess is that comma is confusing the search engine for other searches.
Try rewording the title without a comma.

Mark,
I just checked my stock.
The pointy tip bulbs that I have are not Mag Bulbs.
They are single contact, 12-14 Volt, 15 C.P.
Sorry.
I do have some regular Mag Bulbs.

Just back from the foundry, HCCT (Hand Crank Coil Tester) Spark Rings.
This piece is many times missing or broken.

Re: Profit on each Model T
I seem to recall that I read somewhere that after all was said and done the average net profit on each Model T was about $2.00.
That's $30 million dollars over the 18 year run of the Model T.
Pretty big money for that time.

Re: 1919 Magneto only horn/light wiring harness colors?
The "Resistor" that is used on the non-starter Model T is actually an Inductor. It is a coil wound around a laminated core. The inductor acts like a variable resistor that varies with engine RPM (Magneto Frequency). As your key is on the coil box, the inductor would have been mounted on the firewal...

Re: Glass plate in the coils
The original paper capacitors have no outer wrapping or insulative covering.
Thus the dielectric strength is only what can be provided by the tar.
The glass acts as an insulation barrier between the capacitor and the high voltage windings.

Does anyone know the radius (or diameter)
of the mounting bolt circle of the magneto field coil?
If possible I would like to know the dimension from the Ford drawing.
I need to layout the hole pattern for a HCCT spark ring.
