If that car has a 1937 engine, the distributor may have followed it along.
You are correct of course.

The coils shown belong to the 37 - 41 group. They are slightly taller than the 36 coil(s).
I do know from personally experience that a 37 - 41 dizzy and coil will fit on a 36. What I don't know, is of they will fit with a correct 36 belt.
I'd suggested going to the authentic dizzy and coil as I prefer to do things correctly.
