Gladden Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 I need through firewall mounted 6 volt coil. Prefer new but have several used ones if they could be rebuilt. Advice appreciated. Gladden 713 443 6633 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stakeside Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 I got a coil at Napa parts for my positive ground 29 DB TRUCK. Not sure of original application but works fine. It is a Echlin model 904. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gladden Posted January 17, 2022 Author Share Posted January 17, 2022 Does the Echlin coil from Napa mount through the firewall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stakeside Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 The Echlin number is ECH IC7. The number 904 is on the coil. Should be $19.19 .This a conventional cowl mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Gregush Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Get creative if you want to drive the car. Hang the coil off someplace, wire in an off/on switch if you have to, and wire it up. Find one or two existing holes or bolts/screws on the firewall you could hang it from. Think outside the box. The coil that you use for replacement, even if temporary, don't have to be grounded.

zeke01 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I had the coil for my 1933 Dodge rebuilt by this company. Not cheap but they fixed it. Zeke https://mykmlifestyle.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nearchoclatetown Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Zeke, did they give you any specs on what they did. I am guessing they rewound it. Did they gain any voltage. That is one problem with original coils, the voltage is low. Might be worth the expense if they gained some? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn’t include any specs on the coil although I feel sure that they would have if I had asked. As I remember, they did rewind the unit.
