Hi Kevin. It is a later 'can' type or 'cylinder' coil not the helmet coil as original. The motor is out of a '46 Ford and has the crab style distributor cap.

I ordered up a NAPA FA54 condenser I need a new one anyway mine has a bad wire lead somebody wrapped it in electrical tape it looks frayed and worn, they will have it in Wednesday.
