      I don’t think using these wires as laminates
      was common so this may not be of much
      value other than to show the versatility of
      these OMC coils as a really inexpensive
      ($.00 in this case as they test good and the
      Yankee in me can’t through them out)
      substitute for earlier coils that have gone
      bad and are no longer available.

            I did a double OMC coil swap on a Caille, but had to reverse the orientation of the coils so the high tension aligned with the holes. When you do that, you must reverse the polarity of the primary wiring.

            Wonderful tutorial! It is problem solving like what you displayed that makes our club such a valuable asset to the membership!

                    May seem insulting but don’t take it that way, Use the prick punch then use a center drill, this will start the hole where you want it, then you are left up to how sharp and how properly the drill is sharpened to determine if the hole will drill straight thru …or not… also use of a good cutting oil will also aid in your endeavors.
                    I was taught, many years ago, when hand drilling holes in a drill press to prick punch, then spin the center drill backwards by hand to get it as close as possible before turning the machine on to have the center drill cut. Should get you within .005
