If you want to remove all of the tar --put it in an oven (in the 
garage) in an old baking pan. Space the coil up from the bottom with 
wood blocks. TJ


Sounds like some work. I'll try cleaning up all contacts and points. 
The secondary (so I have read) often burns out on these old coils.

Your help and fast responses are appreciated!

   PRIMARY can burn out if contacts stick shut (maybe if capacitor 
shorts although I've never seen that happen.  Usual symptom is that 
the case is oozing tar.  You still haven't described the problem 
(unless I've missed it).
