coil
« on: June 28, 2015, 08:50:54 AM »
Picked this up!  The coveted(in my book) double wound Simplex coil! Tests ok on both outputs.  Then I can sleep at night knowing both plugs are hitting again.   Yay!!

Tom, you know if you install it and it burns out, then you won't have one! LOL

To have an original over a replacement means a lot to me when I made every effort to maintain that with my 48.  Plus Waynes replacements are $50 anyhow.  I have wondered if the Maytag twin coil is the same thing(looks like it) and ,if so,  that guy is  selling them on Ebay for $150.

Tom ,

That Maytag coil is not the same . It looks to me as if there are two separate coils stacked . Not dual winding's in the same core .

The Maytag coil :


Your Wico coil :


And , agreed , authenticity is worth more .

Pete . :)

I had thought about trying the ones sold on eBay, but the guy that makes them wasn't sure they would work on the simplex.

No I did not.  I have a NOS coil I bought on eBay several years ago pretty cheaply.

Maybe just camera angle , but the Maytag coil looks like it might be a bit taller than the Wico .
