* These are original Ford (or original aftermarket) coils that have been completely remanufactured using new internal windings and sealed for heat and corrosion resistance. Guaranteed for two years after original purchase. * Core Charge: $35.00 per coil on these parts. Core must not be cracked/broken to be allowed for credit. Reproduction coils are NOT acceptable as core returns. We do accept original Ford or early aftermarket coils for cores. All cores are subject to inspection for acceptance before credit will be issued. Unacceptable cores will not be returned to the customer. Please check with us before sending your core if you are uncertain about its use.
 

Ignition - Coil Adapter Kits

     
18-12036K Coil Adapter Kit - Allows a standard 6 or 12V coil to be used with the early V8 distributor PIC 1932-36 V8 $ 49.00
78-12036K Coil Adapter Kit - Allows a standard 6 or 12V coil to be used with the early V8 distributor PIC 1937-41 V8 49.00
Note: Adapter fits on top of existing Ford distributor (replacing stock coil) and includes coil wire and condenser. Customer supplies standard can-type coil and mounting bracket for remote mounting. See coils and mounting brackets listed above. Points & condensers are not voltage sensitive but the coils are. If you are using the 12 volt coil (External Resistor type) you must also add a 12 volt ballast resistor to the circuit (see resistors on Page 2). Standard 6 volt coils do not require a ballast resistor.

1942-48 V8

 49.00
Note: The 21A-12106K kit converts any 1946-48 Ford two bolt type distributor to a 1942-44 crab style. Simply remove the two-piece caps, the old rotor, and the single wire bail. Install the 21A type pins and side clips. Place the 21A rotor on the distributor shaft, then place the 21A crab cap on the distributor body. Snap the two side clips into place and you're done. Although it is not required, we recommend replacing the spark plug wire set with the 21A-12259 type (see wire sets below). Add $7.00 to kit price to change to the red 21A crab cap.
