[Farmall] Super C Problem

[john hall]

As far as coils go, I had to put one on my 66 Mustang a couple years ago. 
The car hasn't been driven 100 miles and I just had to put another one on. 
To make matters more insulting I paid extra to get one that looked like the 
original. It took a couple hours work and a trip to town for points and 
condenser for me to even believe that was the problem.
