Some of this stuff is in the Rootes 'Sunbeam Alpine 260 - 289" shop manual. I think it's available in reprints from Sunbeam Specialties, or else I can probably fax or scan / email you the relevant pa

The collapsing magnetic field in the coil also causes a high 'back EMF' to be induced in the primary windings, which is what causes the sparking on the points. The back EMF is generated by the coil,

So this morning the seeping thermostat housing started leaking rather more vigorously. The reason for the seep in the first place is that the DPO crossthreaded the cr*p out of the lower thermostat ho
