It is the 1.5 Ohm coil for the Model A if you still run 6 volts. They do make one similar for ones that changed over to 12 V.
I've had 2 of those coils fail on me in short time. Not a good option, IMO.
I run any old oil filled coil now but mounted with terminals up. As has been said, you would need to get a longer HT lead but I've had no trouble since.
