Viola: We Have Ignition

Ignition coil, that is.  Looking back at the old post where I first dropped her engine, I saw that I already determined that the coil wasn't mounted on the engine where it should be (no surprise there).  Guess I just never bothered to find it back then.

But following the HT wire back up the frame, it was quite clearly mounted at the top under the seat.  A hole had been drilled through and there was a nut holding it in place.  A little fiddly getting it out of the battery compartment, but just took a little twisting.

Clearly not the stock coil, which was probably why it couldn't be mounted on the engine points.

There's a black wire from the coil that joins with the condenser and a green wire that is the green wire leading to the points.  Then there was a red wire from the coil that ended in a male bullet that was detached.
