Correct coil for Chry 1926

[Frank Wilkie]

What is the correct 6 volt ignition coil used for a 1926 Chrysler 50 series.?  

[Spinneyhill]

Looking through my interchange info.... I have a 1927 Chry 50 showing. The coil is DR and is interchangeable in 203 models.

 

These are some of the models: all Chev's 1927-32; all Chandler 1927-28 and some 1929; Chrysler 50, 60, 70, 80, 62, 72, 80 Imperial, 1928 65, 75, 77W; DeSoto K 1929; 1927-30 Erskine 50, 51, 52; some Franklins; Graham-Paige 1929- 615, 612, 621, 837, 827; 1930-32 Graham (including 8 cylinder cars), 1933 6; Marmon 1927-29; some Nash 1927-28; Oakland 1927-29; Packard 426, 433, 336, 343; Paige 6-45; Some Peerless; Pierce Arrow 1929-32; Plymouth Q; Studebaker 1927-32...    that will do!

 

So based on the first of these, you should be able to look them up at The Filling Station, for example!

 

National Data Service (starts 1929) says Chev's 1929-32 used the DR 528B or C; DeSoto K had a 525E as did the Chry 65 1929; 75 had a 525E or 528E; Studebaker 1929-32 used a 528E; Graham-Paige 1929 used a 528C.

 

I wonder if the letter suffix has something to do with the mounting arrangement?

 

Hope this is useful.

Don't know if the 1926 Chrysler coil mounts using a round metal bracket with 3 holes attached to the coil.  That bracket is then bolted through a hole on the firewall of my 1928 Model 72.  Above, it states the coil is a DR (Delco Remy?) and fits 203 models, however without the attached round metal bracket it cannot be mounted on the firewall as the OEM type.

My NAPA book says, 4 Cylinder 1926-28 Chrysler, All Engines, All Models use Ignition Coil IC9,  6 Cylinder  1926-27 All Engines Models 60, 65 also use IC9.  Pretty much 1926-1930 they call for IC9.  I don't have any info on Mopar numbers

Both of the model 50 and 52 Chryslers I restored had coils with the flange, same as Leo's. My current model 62 takes the same coil, but my model G70 does not have the flange type coil.

Now comes the hard part, replacing the coils which are fused into the round bracket that mounts to the firewall.  Two original coils I have are both different widths and the new coil I got from NAPA is also a different width.  The old coil needs to be cut out from it's mounting bracket and the new coil has to be fitted into the mounting bracket and held in place.  I've received instructions on using a hacksaw to remove the old coil from the bracket, using a Dremel tool to clean up any remaining coil from the bracket and epoxying the new coil in place.  Has anyone done something else?
