Need to identify this early Delco coil

[Frank Wilkie]

This is a NOS Delco Remy Coil #2180 ..  Can anyone identify it what it's for?  vehicle or other?

Looks like the coil on the 1926  Buick that I owned years ago

DaveMc,

it certainly looks the same as a 26 Buick Standard 6 coil although the mount at the bottom is different as the coil in the 26 Standard 6 bolts directly to the top of the generator. Could it be off a Buick Master of the same period?

 

Frank, Might be worth posting on prewar Buick forum, someone there will probably recognise it if it is Buick.

For Delco #2180 I find no automotive listing.

Delco #2188 is Buick all models 1926-28.

Layden,   thank you for looking

Other than the riveted bracket, it is same as on a 1920s Nash. Maybe used on a stationary engine, but minus the bracket it might have common auto usage. If it works it would have some value.
