BTW is that a real NOS KMET bumper sticker on your back window?

It does have at least one unwound coil. I hope I can carefully rewind it, as I've sometimes been able to do before. I used to have boxes and boxes of Zenith coils, but they all had to go on eBay for lack of space.
And yes, that's a real KMET sticker! That truck is one of my hobby Toyota turbo-Diesels that I don't drive. Kay and I were in down in the Valley in her Lexus, so when the Zenith call came, I pulled the red truck out of storage down in Chatsworth to go get the set. Being a 1985 truck, I had to add the KMET sticker. I also put 1985-ish Centerline "sawblade" wheels on it. I entered that truck in the Toyota National car show last year, and got Best Truck trophy with it. It's one of only three ever built with that exact configuration (Short bed, XtraCab, turbo-Diesel, 2 wheel drive). It was custom-ordered by the owner of a Toyota dealer in Northern California. The only thing I need to do is replace the back bumper. That one is a 1995 bumper, but I'd rather have it for now than to have somebody bang the original paint. Otherwise, it's 100% accurate and original.
