The Ford Barn

After many years being only interested in Model A's I have taken a liking to Ford V-8's. I have two V-8's:

1. 1939 Standard Coupe (title says '38)
VIN 494975XXX
Vehicle Number 330XXXX

2. 1936 Standard Tudor
VIN 182919XXX
Vehicle Number 3949XXX

What month were these cars assembled? Where do I find this information?
What is the cutoff between early and late models for each year?

The '36 is very original except for the coil setup. When I bought it, the coil was on the "wheelwell" where the hood closes.

I want to get an original NOS/excellent coil. The car is very original except for being repainted along the way. So I would like to return it to the original setup. Suggestions on where to look?

Thanks,
Dean
