I posted a Private Message to Modiol but I am not sure that posting it on the Old VCCA Chat site will work. I don't see him in the current member roster.

I upgraded my 1938 Chevy to 12 volt and wanted to keep an original look with the Electroloc in tact.  I will try to explain what I did and hopefully the pictures will show.

I use the pertronix ignition kit to replace the points and keep the original distributor.  I replaced the coil with a 12 volt coil.  I mounted the coil upside down in the holder.  I emptied a spray can that I had on the shelf.  I cut the can, and it was a snug fit over the coil, with a small space between the bottom of the coil and the top of the can.  The bottom of the can (which is now the top) has a concave shape.  I drilled 2 holes in the concave area.  One hole to bolt the electroloc cap to it, and another hole for a wire. 

 I also drilled a hole in the side of the can, towards the top.  I re-wired the electroloc and installed a longer wire.  The wire runs thru the electroloc, thru the cap, into and out of the side of the can to a resistor (not sure I really needed one), and then to the coil.  The wire and resistor are hidden on the backside of the coil.  I painted the can black.  I used rubber grommets for all the holes i drilled before passing a wire thru them.  It's been there for over 10 years, I haven't had any problems with it.

Mario,

Excellent! Thank you so much! I have a lot better idea now of what you did!
