You still have metal surrounding the coils since the early T had the coil box in the cabin, so I would say "Iffy" If they don't survive then take the spare set out of your metal tool box. The Magneto should survive with no issues early or late!

Isn't that what "Off Topic" is for all things not related to the care and feeding of the Model T?
If I see a muscular Dude not wearing clothes and he approaches me should I give him the key to my Model T?

Not the most powerful at 18 HP 2 cylinder diesel but she grunts and groans until she gets it done and sips diesel like a geisha girl sips green tea.

And mom wanted a garden so i put her to work

Palm trees and snow.... What's wrong with this picture? Where is the global warming they promised us?

The last time we had real snow in Jacksonville Fl was December 1989. it stayed on the ground for 3 days and brought the city to a complete standstill including the 3 navy bases we had at that time.

Looks good to me, just make sure you designate space for the cars that cannot be violated. Trying to keep my late wife from storing "Stuff that we might need later" was a task. I finally had to build her her own space.

Talked with my insurance agent.

I then got a notice from my carrier that if I failed to make the co...

It has occurred to me that we may need to update our lexicon of cliches. For example saying that a person doesn't know S#@t from shineola no longer makes sense because no one shines anything anymore.

Norm: that would require a committee to decide which language we should use, Chinese, Russian, English, Spanish or should we scrap them all and create a New Global Language? I'm sure there would be those who were upset no matter which choice was made and it might be the touchstone for WWIII

There are about 7,000 languages in the world, so why stop at 12 warnings on this bag? Also there are no Califunny Prop 65 warnings visible, Shouldn't they also be plainly visible? Oh where will it all end?
