Should only be 2 screws to remove the cover, points are .009 thou and are in the normally open position. There are a few options for the coil, some much cleaner than others, but all work.
So what ya wanna do with the coil?

Well, the absolute no mess option is that I have developed and 3D printed a tube, end caps and inserts.
The tube is the same OD and length as the original. Then end caps have holes for battery wiring, timer wiring and 9mm spark plug wire to exit.
The inserts…that is the sweetest part. The inserts are designed to hold the Military surplus 2 lug Bendix style coil and keep it from vibrating all over the housing.
It also provides a location to mount a single standard OMC condenser and allows wires to pass thru where and when needed.
The whole package can be assembled very quickly and the end caps can be glued in place and using small brass nails to hold the end caps on.
These can be made in virtually any color the the PLA, that is the material used to print the parts. But I try to keep black and a light brown that is close to the original, but alas not perfect.
I also make the same setup out of ABS and the color is amazingly close, but that is MUCH harder to print.
