      My motor was missing quite a few things. I’ve been able to replace the cylinder, piston, but other than the points what is available to replace the missing coils and condenser?

        Well, one could attempt to find an original working coil and condenser, Might be challenging, OR you could run it off a Model T buzz box…..

          Buzz coils usually run better anyway since they provide multiple sparks for ignition. Only real disadvantage is needing a battery.

            I’ve been looking at the diagrams for buzz coil. I may have to do that. so it sounds like creative replacements are not likely?

                  Yes, Doug is helpful. I have an actual model T coil but now I see the new versions have posts for attaching wires instead of just contact spots. Thanks for your pic, very helpful.

                    Those are not "normal", it does not matter how it attaches, just that it attaches..

                        The condenser is inside the Ford coil box….
