IGNITION COIL L.I.7. WOUND ON TUBE WITH PARALLEL SECONDARY WINDING.
DISTRIBUTOR WITH MODIFIED CONTACT POINT ARM

There has been no sign of coil failure throughout the mileage. The contacts of the distributor show very slight sign of burning and pitting. The contact points are very much discoloured and do not show any signs of wiping effect taking place. We have not detected any flaws in the Maconite distributor.
