Fiat Dino Forum (FDF)

For years I’ve wondered if an ignition coil can could be successfully uncrimped to access the inner components and then crimped back without having leaks. If this were possible perhaps a “normal” coil could be re-wired to separate both inner windings and have the functionality of a 205A…?

Thanks for the excellent post Dinoswede. Should be a valuable reference for us going forward.

Well, you made me look. I thought I had done this without having the head off so I looked at my photo record and indeed I did take out the assembly to carry out the additional bolt modification, re-gasket it and replace the O-ring. I don't recall the details of how I did it but there were no extraor...
