    That’s the way they come. Coil and condenser are
    soldered to the points. Not uncommon to loose
    spark in these because the points are corroded from
    sitting. You need to take the points apart and clean
    them. If your careful (coil wire) it can be done without
    unsoldering them. I don’t know of any later coil that
    can be substitute for these however it is the same coil
    found in the pre. WW-II Pal and Ranger. If you don’t
    unsolder the wires don’t be moving that coil wire
    around too much.
