First off you may not be able to do this as spring steel has a lot of carbon in it . Soft wire is not going to get hard . Tempering steel is done by heating it up and then cooling it off fast to freeze it hard and then heating again and cooling slower in say some oil to achieve the proper hardness.
If you don't have a known good coil wire to substitute, try hooking a spark plug to the coil wire and grounding it to the engine. Then crank the engine to see if there is spark.
Need to know what the size of the wire is in the coil and the physical diameter of the coil.
The starter solenoid has two small posts, one marked "S" the other marked "R". There should be a small purple wire in the harness that attaches to the "S" post and a small yellow wire that goes to the "R" post. The positive battery feed attaches to the large post. The coil should have a small black wire coming from the distributor attached to the post marked "neg" on the coil. The pos side of the coil should have a small yellow wire and a resister type wire attached. The resister wire has a white cloth like covering.
Jumper wire from coil + to battery+ Jump starter solenoid from small trigger wire to starter cable Make sure vehicle is in neutral if std.
A: That small coil is micron wire it has resistance. Current trough it makes it to glow
A conductor
The coil is inside the distributor. There is no coil wire.The coil is inside the distributor. There is no coil wire.
yes coil is a type of wire
AnswerCheck the distributor and the hei coil.In 1973 you would not have an HEI coil. Just the coil itself. Check to make sure all the wires to the coil, including the plug wire is tight and secure. You can pull the distributor wire from the coil.....leaving a small amount of space between it and the coil, turn over the engine. See if there is a spark jumping from the coil to the wire. If so, the problem is in the distributor. Points and condensor, rotor, etc.
It depends on what year it is. 74 and older have a bottle style coil mounted to the intake to the driver's side of the distributor. 75-86 have the coil mounted in top of the distributor cap (make sure you replace the coil with the correct coil. If it has a white wire, it must be replaced with a white wire coil. If it is a yellow wire, it must be replaced with a yellow wire coil). 87-95 uses a square coil mounted to the intake and has two wire conntectors and the coil wire. LT-1 motors use a crank trigger ignition system that has a different coil system altogether. I don't have information on this system.
An ignition coil is two loops or "Coils" of wire one inside the other. When you apply a current to the Coil of wire with less coils of wire it creates a magnetic Field. When the magnetic Field collapses when the electricity is removed this induces a current in both coils of wire. The coil that has just had the power removed from to a very small degree. To the other coil that has many more coils of wire the current induced is very high voltage. This causes the spark to jump the gap on the spark plug. To make this happen correctly the power must be turn on and of very quickly and cleanly.
