Electrical Issues – How to Troubleshoot a Ford Model A

January 22, 2020 Posted by Nate Cooper All, Flathead Engines, Ignition

Rough run? No start? Watch this overview of the Ford Model A’s common problems with the ignition coil, points, condenser, and distributor. Remember, when troubleshooting electrical problems on a Model A, it’s easy to accidentally leave the key on for an extended period. This can overheat and destroy the ignition coil.

Be safe, wear protective gear, don’t hurt yourself. We can’t be responsible for what you do with your car!

Mechanic: Rod Reetz

Producers: Mike and Shane Reetz

Videographer and editor: Shane Reetz
