Thanks Desoto1939, that helps confirm what I was running into. Sounds like the firewall bracket style is the next best option. Cheers!

I appreciate all of your responses. I have now determined that the coil is not working to generate spark. Do any of you know of a acceptable coil that I can swap it our for? The original through the firewall is no longer available based upon my searches this week. Thanks Dan

I have heard that they made it like that so you could unscrew it as anti theft device. Not sure if someone was pulling my chain or not but sounded legit

Very helpful. Thank you for taking time to help me out! Dan

Hi all- Been lurking the forum for some time. Really appreciate all the wisdom. My current project is a 1937 DB Sedan. I am replacing the coil to distributor wire and can not locate any information on how to prep the wire. How much wire do I strip for the coil connection end? I am assuming wire needs to come out the end that screws into the coil, but I didn't know how much or if I am possibly missing a piece? I put an image to reference the question. Thank you for any help. D
