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 have one more spare coil. It’s an oil filled one that I bought new from a Model A vendor before I learned the differences between coils. I plan to try it out too when I get a chance. I still have the oil filled coil (that I originally posted about) in the car at the moment.

Yesterday, the car was hard to start twice (on two legs of a trip) after it was driven 10 miles or so for each leg of the trip. So, the engine was hot when it didn’t want to start. However, it started fine at the end of our trip in our garage with the engine hot.

This evening, the car was hard to start cold.
