TJ, I have no idea how electricity works ... something to do with Voo Doo
is my guess. But, adding to Patricks comments ...
I am probably wrong but, don't some of the personal computer cooling fans
run off of low voltage DC?
Maybe you could find one in the right voltage. I have had success in the
past with guys at the electronics repair shops rigging up different doohickeys
or thingamajigs to make electronic (magic stuff to me) gadgets operate with
different voltages than I had available as a source. Inverters? Converters?
Perverters?
Perhaps you could put together a box with one end holding a filter,
B&S lawn mower engine filter mounted on one end and a hose on
the other should work with the fan in the middle. These fans are
only a couple of inches in diameter and very thin. If enclosed under
the dash or someplace else out of the way but sheltered from moisture
should run a long time and don't use a lot of power. They do provide
a good movement of air for cooling and are relatively silent.
Perhaps "Radio Shack" or other electronics store has a better fan to
suit your needs.
Hope this isn't just rambling, as I do that a lot, but helpful in some way.
Bill K.

I don't know much about the M38, but how about a small surplus
24V DC blower or a small fan plumbed to a 1" hose going into the
distributor housing? the fan could draw cooler air from somewhere
convenient. All you should need is about 2 or 3 CFM across the
coil, if you can draw cool air in.
