Flathead Newbie Coil Question

[htandb]

Hi All, just been building for years but just got my first flathead V8 and I have what is hopefully an easy question.

I had a beautiful 36 Tudor fall into my lap and I'm converting it to 12V. It's a 21 stud V8 and the kit from Vintage Auto Garage came with a 3 bolt coil adapter. When I went to change it, it turns out I have a 37-41 2 screw coil. That's completely my fault I'll get back with the company.

Here's my question: When I tried to remove the 2 screw coil it came loose but the silver cylinder, that looks like a condenser, was holding the coil in place, the rest of the coil would lift but it was hung up there. Is there a trick to getting it off, I didn't want to mess anything up internally. I've attached a picture of the cap and a couple of the car for good measure. Appreciate the help -
Cheers!
