Default Noob question. Crack or normal?

Outside right now doing plugs rotor wires etc.

Is this crack normal? On the same place both sides.

Since it is on both sides of the part in exactly the same spot. I would say it is normal. Is this a solid piece of metal...or multiple layers? It also looks like the two parts have been spot welded.

Thanks, was outside in the middle of replacing some parts in a tune up and just wanted to be sure before putting it all back together.
It's the coil sides that look like 'layers' on top of one another.

Much appreciated, runs great!

I ain't real sure but aren't there primary and secondary windings in an ignition coil and maybe just maybe the halves are differently polarized? It seems like the only rational assumption but I certainly ain't sure.

I'm sure all HEI coil 'n cap coils are constructed similarly.

It's fine. It's made in two pieces so the one piece coil windings can go in the middle.
