I have a 1933 stock 221ci in my car and I run with the setup you intend to build (diver's helmet, coil conversion kit). As far as canister coil is concerned I run on a BERU ZS 105. They seem however difficult to find and the BERU replacement item (ZS564) is not providing good results. I have since sourced a suitable alternative from Pertronix (Flamethrower 6V high performance 1.5 ohm primary 7.5K ohm secondary). The idea is to source a coil with the highest secondary resistance value to provide best spark
Polarity to the coil must be respected for optimal result.
