TarheelRick Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 I have switched the Flathead engine from the AMT 49 Merc kit into a 34 Ford pickup. Does the Flathead use an external coil and if so where exactly is it located? Is it mounted on the engine or separate in the engine bay?

Ace-Garageguy Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 (edited) Yes, it uses an external coil. You can mount it anywhere, just like most coils of its type, but the factory mounts it to the front of the RH cylinder head .
