Here it is installed on the engine with the ignition box, coil and vacuum pump chamber all bolted in place.

Very nice!
Do you like that big coil? I run one with my 7AL2 and in retrospect would have bought a smaller one. Always ran 0.042 inch spark plug gap and didn't change it with the new coil. Burned up about half a dozen nice Accel caps because the inner electrode burned up. Ended up having to reduce the plug gap to 0.030 to prevent cap failures.
I just don't need that much energy..........

I've never had any issues with this coil and I've run it for at least 10 years on all of the dyno engines. What spark plug gap do you set the plug for?

I wish I had the tools and skill to do that. That's a common thought of mine as I peruse through these threads. Very nice work...
