Model t spark coil wiring diagram. Indicated on flywheel drawing t 701 c. Henley publishing co ny 1917 p. Ful internal combustion engine used something like it in his engines as early as 1862 2 the jump spark system employed a spark. Wire 3 goes from the igniter to lower terminal on the side of the coil.
Credited with build commutator coil and wiring. When starting the model t engine on the magneto with the spark lever fully retarded the coil initially fires at 26 5 degrees. The spark symbols show the points where the ignition coil will fire on the magneto current output with respect to piston travel. It also includes full colour coding for each of the wires.
The spark symbols show the points where the ignition coil will fire on the magneto current output with respect to piston travel. Each of these locations is logically separated by 22 5 degrees. Illustration from victor pagethe model t ford car ing the first success 1917 edition norman w. Each of these locations is logically separated by 22 5 degrees.
So i thought i would modernize the ignition circuit diagram for the model t with this colour coded computer generated version. One thing i failed to address in the video. Wire 1 goes from the frame of the bracket that holds the fuel tank to the negative terminal of one of the batteries. Simplified diagram of model t ignition components author.
This is a quick video showing how cool these early model t coils are and i show how to wire them up for use and give a demonstration of mine operating.
