★ Reliable replacement ignition coil for correct operation of the 6 volt ignition system. With integrated resistor for straightforward fitting.
Application
This ignition coil is suitable for vehicles with 6 volt electrical installation according to the categories in which the product appears: Willys MB (1941-1945), Ford GPW (1941-1945), CJ-2A (1946-1949), CJ-3A (1949-1953), M38, M38A1 and CJ-3B. Only suitable for models originally equipped with a 6 volt system.
Installation notes
The ignition coil has an integrated resistor, eliminating the need for an external ballast resistor. Mount the coil in the original mounting position. Connect the positive terminal to the wiring harness and the negative terminal to the distributor housing. The high-tension lead runs from the centre of the coil to the distributor cap. Observe correct polarity.
Compatibility
Only suitable for 6 volt electrical systems. DO NOT use in combination with 12 volt installations — this will cause damage and dangerous situations. Check before fitting whether your vehicle still has the original 6 volt system, many vehicles have been converted to 12 volt over the years.
Historical context
During WWII and the early post-war years, virtually all military jeeps and civilian Willys vehicles were equipped with 6 volt electrical systems. The ignition coil was a critical component for reliable engine starting and performance under all conditions.
