That would be it. How much would you need for it?

I am asking this question because I don't know the answer. Is the coil in Post #4 the one that was installed on the cars when they were built or is it an aftermarket coil?

It is an aftermarket coil. It has a stamped metal sleeve around a new coil.

Ford used a number of different coils during production. The early cars had script but that didn't last. The originals generally had a permanently attached bracket. Some had angled terminals and some were straight. The tube type terminal nuts were common.

I'm still using an old reproduction coil and it still works. I think I purchased in back in the late 1980s.

I do it on the bench using a spare distributor.
Tom Wesenberg once posted a schematic for a tester, I searched but couldn't find it.

Found it:

If somebody's willing to pay shipping, I'm always happy to test coils at no charge. I have an MT-640 tester. Can check polarity, strength, and performance when heated.
