Posted: Sun Jan 18, 2026 2:16 pm
Cold, rainy and snowy Winter days are the perfect opportunity to learn or review the marvels of the Model T Ignition System and Model T Coils.
How they work and how to keep them running well.
The MTFCA Coil Testing and Tuning Webinar on Youtube: https://youtu.be/RYcGD-8Ol3s?t=364
Its worth viewing if you ever wondered about any of the following questions:
What are the major elements of a Model T coil and what is their function?
What happens when a coil produces a double spark and why does it results in degraded engine performance?
How to prevent Model T coils from double sparking?
How does the capacitor/condenser function to suppress arcing and associated ware of the coil points?
Why can point arcing still occur even with a good capacitor of the proper value and rating?
Why point arcing causes ignition timing variation and how to prevent it?
How to prevent coil point arcing and ignition timing variation?
How to clean and maintain coil point contacts?
How are Model T coils properly adjusted?
Where to get coil point hardware?
Q&A can follow here for interactive learning
