[Farmall] Need Expert Opinion

[Charlie V]

Just another note, Carl.  If your NAPA guys fail on the IC  64 coil,
another that will do the same job is the Standard Ignition Products
Tru Tech # UC15T coil. as shown in the pictures I sent.  Independent
(not chain) auto parts stores may have this one available.  This style
coil was designed primarily for 1957 and 1958 Chrysler vehicles at the
time automotive had changed to 12V systems and were in the process of
trying to eliminate the ballast resistor from that ignition system
while not frying the distributor points in a few hours of operation.

Good luck.
Charlie V.
