@chip Do you do 35's?

I have never done any newer than 1932 to very early 1933 pop-outs. The later ones didn't pop-out so don't have the same problems as the earlier ones.

@bob-lowery, @tiny, I have never heard of anyone rebuilding a coil, of the "sealed metal can" type. The coil that works with the 1935 Electrolock is the same through 1940 on some models. There was a, correct appearing, universal replacement from Delco Remy, that came with more than one adapter to match up with different Electrolock caps. This universal coil is a 538Z and can often be found on eBay, usually at a healthy price. There was a later style, universal coil also. The aftermarket supplied coils too, but they did not have the correct appearance. 

The original coil had the bracket welded to the can. Any replacement coil will have a separate bracket.

I have several of the original coils, but I have no way of testing them. I have plans for a test rig but have not built it.

Bob, send me a private message and I will be glad to help you, if I can.

Wow, goes to show you need to read carefully! I completely missed "coil". I was thinking about restoring the electrolock. Oops!

@tiny I wrote an article many years ago in the G&D on restoring an Electrolock, not hard.

As you have probably noticed the coils are different than a more modern coil. The electrolock from the dash connects to the bottom of the coil and the high tension wire goes down to the distributor. If I see that type of coil at a swap meet and it is reasonable ($5-$10) I will pick it up. Last fall I found 2 NORS. They are slightly different from one another. The one in our '36 is working fine for now so I am not sure of the style it uses.
