Oil lubricates the smoke so it doesn't get stuck in the wires.
If you want another coil like the one you have.....
PM me w/ your address and I'll send you an almost new one, free.
(Plenty of smoke lube still inside)

PM means private message if you missed that part - just click on WTN's name next to his post and then click on send a Private Message. Also look for messages to you by looking for a little flashing envelope on the upper left part of the screen where it says "Selcome sp53" - click on the envelope to read your private forum emails.

On an old style tr3 Lucas coil there is a screw in the center. Can this screw be removed? What I did was to attempt to remove the screw and some oil came out. Does anyone know if I damaged the coil or not. Sp53

If you have the same old coil I had, it has a threaded tower on top that fastens to a hollow "nut" through which the wire to the distributor goes. The coil end of the wire should have about 1/2 inch of bare wire that goes through a washer and then is splayed out to contact the bottom of the socket of the coil. The "nut" is removable but to my knowledge, not the threaded portion of the coil. My coil was fried at the bottom of that hole and would no longer make good contact so I replaced the coil with the "sport" lucas coil.
