<VV> Monza clock diode install done!

 Back in the day, a diode was a lot pricier than they are today, relatively speaking, and cars weren't meant to last 40+ years! 4 years was a stretch!

A big thank you to everyone for the advice on the Monza clock diode install!   
With the clock opened and connected a nice pretty green spark was very visable 
each time the points released to wind the clock.  With the diode shunted across 
the coil windings:  no visable spark.It's a shame that the clock wasn't built 
that way to begin with, it really would have made them last a lot longer.Jim
