Re: Hello from Upstate NY with my 1930 Model A

I have the box for the coil, it's from Snyder's. I triple checked my order and the box, 100% 6 volt. Will try the resistance as well tonight.

Re: Hello from Upstate NY with my 1930 Model A

1a. I'm not near the car but I don't think I was getting 6, often times 3 at best but it seemed all over the place. I did try the old coil but it's possible it was bad as well so not a reliable test...
