What a difference !

I installed a re-print of the original instructions in the lid !

OK, so you can’t see any difference - but I know it’s there ! :lol:
(Thanks, Larry “Original” Smith !)

Rich, you need a strong cup of black tea. Not to drink though. Pour it into the cover, leave it for 30 seconds or so and pour off. When dry, this should knock the bright white off the paper label. You should notice a difference then.

Just like P F Flyers? Run faster, jump higher?

Kieth, exactly! Or Dumbo’s black feather? I figure with the information in the lid, my coils will know what’s expected of them, and maybe adjust themselves !

Just curious if this typo is on the ORIGINAL and left on the reproduction to be ORIGINAL. Or if its an ORIGINAL typo? (Couldn’t resist)

And knowing Larry, it could be an intentional typo so people years from now would know it’s not an ORIGINAL !

Adam, I wondered bout that error too. I assumed the reproduction is 100% true to original, but maybe not ?
Perhaps someone can enlighten us.

Another typo. "Timber" wires? Is this another "Easter Egg?"

It’s accidental. A friend of mine very kindly found the original font and typed it out for us. He’s not a Ford person so I’d rather not impose on him any further. Let’s consider it a way to tell between the two.

Thanks for telling us. stan ! Much appreciated !
Doesn’t hurt to have an earmark for the reproduced item.
(I missed the “timber wires” :oops: )

No worries Rich. Always good to have a bit of timber about.
