Cooper40 Posted October 7, 2023 Report Share Posted October 7, 2023 I'm looking into getting a new coil for my 1949 Plymouth Special Deluxe. I couldn't identify any part numbers or markings on the old coil. I could see the beginnings of a "AUT" for autolite I assume. I was wondering if it mattered if I get the exact same part # for swapping coils? Would this one work? I'm still running a 6v system. https://www.partsgeek.com/6f7xhy5-plymouth-special-deluxe-ignition-coil.html?utm_source=google&utm_medium=ff&utm_content=DN&utm_campaign=PartsGeek+Google+Base&utm_term=1949-1950+Plymouth+Special+Deluxe+Ignition+Coil+Standard+Motor+Products+49-50+Plymouth+Ignition+Coil&cid=18313611776&gclid=CjwKCAjw9-6oBhBaEiwAHv1QvNLwqhpQpNwweSCXTDr4s_GWwDVT0W7908bnBmLYg1beQ_Q9wgh7DRoCecIQAvD_BwE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Los_Control Posted October 7, 2023 Report Share Posted October 7, 2023 I'm only assuming you are just using the standard round coil that mounts on top of the engine .... Some vehicles mount elsewhere and use a special shaped coil. You wont need anything special, just a 6 volt coil. What you are looking for now is quality .... Really is hit & miss with the available aftermarket parts today .... Most are made overseas. I have been hearing some good reports from Standard. It is a company in Mexico making automotive products ..... My 1991 Chebby Cheyenne truck ... base model to a Silverado was made in Mexico. .... Just pointing out Mexico has been making automotive products for some time now. So My new coil I chose to buy a standard ... I'm switching to 12 volt though .... still sitting on the shelf as I not got to wiring yet ... No review how well it works. If I needed to buy a new 6 volt coil, I would probably choose this one ...... just my choice, others may have better choices. https://www.amazon.com/Standard-Motor-Products-UC14T-Ignition/dp/B00809W7WC/ref=sr_1_1?crid=29T7NS4LD7FTA&keywords=6+volt+ignition+coil+uc-14&qid=1696721909&sprefix=6+volt+ignition+coil+uc-14%2Caps%2C395&sr=8-1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought it at a local parts house that does a lot of tractor business. Edited October 8, 2023 by Sam Buchanan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rallyace Posted October 8, 2023 Report Share Posted October 8, 2023 If you have a Tractor Supply or Runnings, they generally have them in the tractor parts section. There are a lot of old 6 volt tractors out there working just as hard today as when they were new. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
