I think I have coil problems,My 1951 Super A will crank good and after a few minutes will cut off,but then it will crank back up again and run for a little while,Then the same thing. The coil on it has the coil wire plug in facing the clutch pedal and the 2 terminals for distributor wires on the opposite end, does this sound like the right coil(6 volt) on it? Most I have seen have all 3 connections on the same end.Also I have been told that a 6 or 12 volt coil will work on a 6 volt system,Is this correct? Thanks

First we need to eliminate the possibilty of a fuel-flow problem. Look at the bottom of the carb bowl. You'll see a plug. Get yourself a container and the wrench to remove the plug. Run the engine until it stalls, then quickly move your container under the carb and remove the plug. If you don't have a strong, steady stream of fuel coming out of that plug, there's a restriction somewhere between the tank and the carb. That's the most common thing that would cause the type of problem you describe. The next most common thing probably would be the coil. The coil you describe sounds different, but should have worked. There are three types of coils- 6 volt, externally resisted 12 volt, and internally resisted 12 volt. With a 12-volt system, the voltage going to the coil needs to be reduced to 6 volts, to avoid burning the points. A resistor is used to accomplish this, the only difference between the two is the location of the resistor. A 12-volt externally resisted coil will be the same as a 6 volt, if you don't have a resistor wired in ahead of it, but if you get a internally resisted coil by mistake and try to use it with your 6 volt system, it will cut the voltage to the points to almost nothing.
