Replacement coil for 1949 Plymouth Special Deluxe

[Cooper40]

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.

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.

That’s the coil I use on my P15. I bought it at a local parts house that does a lot of tractor business.

good idea to have a spare on hand

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.
