I seriously do not know why I kept this. It actually works providing nobody in a half-mile radius spits

My OEM crack-o-matic coil had no cracks, the secondary circuit had 100 ohms of resistance when it quit .

Mine failed in the rain. Let it dry out and it would run until it got wet again. Get home, unpack and start troubleshooting after the rain ended and all was well. Finally pulled the tank and took a look.

Yeah, that almost qualifies as a "plumbers" crack!  ;D
