Model A ignition harness

Post by geresh »

What is everyone using for an ignition harness with the model A? I have a slick 4201 mag mounted directly to end of the crank. The slick harness I have from a small continental comes up about 6" short. I am using standard REM 40E plugs.

No. Already had a pin vise and bits to clean out the ends. Used a deep socket to set the ferrules.

Perfect. Thanks for the help. I will order a lead and change out the ones that are too short. I am sure I will have more questions.
It has been challenging getting the Ford engine and all of the engine systems mounted in the Corben. The underslung radiator and tight cowling have created the main headaches. I think it is getting close to run-able.
