well we got it tested and they called back ... 

on site they say it is verry high carrot

by the eye ... they left a msg ...  and said it was not gold ... lol

may be they MUST REPORT ANY GOLD OF THIS QUALITY ...

hummmm   they never said what it was ..

intresting .. 

j  the dead spots?  humm is there 3 of em ...  is this where your  coils go?   

ist!


what else could this yellow stuff be .. ?  it passed the acid test no prolbem

i saw my kids today yay! 

we were at moms store ... and looked at an archolagy magizen  all bout egypt.... 

and my sun sky says great x15 grand dad built them ...  hummmmm

saw the mumified dog ..  and CALLED HER BY NAME....   nuts eh?

@ kooler

one toroid has 30awg and the other has 26awg

Thanks for the feedback. The wire diameter does not affect performance, so there is no need to change it.

I just realized my ignition coil has a resistor in it. Do you think I would get longer sparks if I got a coil without a resistor in it?

if it is a old can type you can bend the lip around the top and pop the top and remove it
don't spill the oil....
my ign coils are off a 99 ford 150 4.6 liter

the resistor has to be hurting it

The resistor on the ignition coil is to drop the voltage to the primary side of the coil "after" the engine starts.
The ignition switch, by passes the resistor while the engine is cranking so the ignition coil gets full voltage to work with.

Corrected kooler dual toroid JT circuit. I hope it is correct.
