A bit of recoil

While reinstalling the various bits in the engine compartment after repainting, I noticed that the coil was looking a bit drab after 40 years.

Why not take a moment to make it look better?  Once again donning my wire wheel on a drill, I quickly removed all the paint and rust.  I then used some caliper paint that has yet to find its way onto my rusty brake drums.  After two coats it looked much better.

Now returned to its home, ready to spark future adventurous trips!
