Ford only used this coil box for one year. They used mica pieces below the common grounding strip on the bottom to insulate the ground from the mag and battery wires. These mica pieces appear to be about 1 1/8" to 1 1/4" square, and about .030 thick. Does anyone know if mica is available like that?

McMaster-Carr carries it in various thicknesses, but it's not cheap!! Might try an electric motor shop.........
