My father once pulled the Number 1 plug wire from our '49 Dodge truck

remember the look on his face when he grabbed the door handle, not
realizing that I had my other hand on the fender, to get out to me.
It slapped him across the cab! It seems magnetos put out more juice
than coils then. I can still check a plug wire by running it between
my fingers while the engine idles. I feel strangely at peace after I do.
Magnetos? I thought that they went out long before that. My ol' '31
Studebaker President had points/coil ignition! Two coils at that...

It was an old Ma Bell Line truck. Sucker had heavy duty everything. 4
inch channel iron for bumpers, welded directly to the frame, big flat
head 6, DU model. Was rated at 1.5 ton. Damn I wish we still had that
truck. Peace, Dennis
