Travis, I am just about an hour south of you and have assembled a working magneto/flywheel simulator that makes it possible to see and understand the construction and operation of the Model T system. You would be welcome to make a visit and we can discuss your situation at length if you would like. Email or PM me and we can discuss the possibilities. I'm no expert but I have been tinkering with these for over thirty years and have a pretty good idea of what goes on with them.
