A little story about a Model T Ignition coil and Frank and Clyde, Blackstone (brothers), used to double date, they had a car wired so that the this coil was wired to the back seat, one of the them would grab two of the steal coils in the backseat and the other guy turn on the switch at the right time, the couple in the back seat would be kissing, the time, one girl was about to kiss Clyde and he grabbed the coils at the same time my brother flipped the switch, the girl had just started to kiss Clyde, the sparks went from his lips to her lips,"She said I ain't never been kissed like that !!!,
This was repeated many times between 1930 & 1935
