      Looking for the source and part number for the OMC coils I have heard work well as replacement for bendix scintella coils.

        NO omc coil work on bendix. ebay has a similar coil with 2 coil wire tabs that can work. ground 1 tab and use the other for the plug wire.

          You can use the 2 cylinder coil.
          Put the plug wire on one lead and
          run a wire to ground on the other.
          Note that the connection for the
          plug wire is off to the side as
          compared to the original so some
          finagling is necessary to use them.

          A "Boathouse Repair" is one thats done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.

            Thanks for the reply. I have two of those coils, but mine have just one solder dot vs two. Will install and try them.

              The single solder dot coil would work wonderfully in your motor, just remember the orientation of that dot is NOT the same as the original Bendix coil , but if you take cautions and protect the lead from arcing out, it will work just fine.

                will shoot a few photos when I get them installed. Looks to be very easy to reach the solder dot with an extended HV lead. Will insulate well with liquid tape.

                  I have installed a OMC coil on Bendix magneto and it worked very good, looked bad but its covered by plastic coil cover. Since the Military Surplus are cheap and easy to install they are the best choice.

                      Finally, a photo that shows what I wanted to see. Given I have numerous Bendix mags to play with, I will definitely build up one with the omc coils. Thanks

                        This is mercuryman’s OMC coil substitution.
                        I just saved the picture.
