I would suggest CALLING Skip Haney and discuss the possibilities for having him rebuild an original 47 coil to suit your needs. Several years ago, I had Skip rebuild two original 46-48 Ford script coils to use on my 59 series high performance engine that uses a dual point, dual coil Harmon Collins distributor. He did a beautiful job on those two coils.

The Bosche Blue is a 3 ohm coil. Any 3 ohm coil will replace it.

Fifth Avenue's 12V Internal Resistor Coil, Part #9541512C, is $80.00.

At the Bosch company web site I couldn't find their coils. NAPA can order theirs ($53) but want to look at their detailed spec's and warranty. Out-of-stock Bosch Blue was priced at $83.

In my opinion, Bosch coils perform better than the ones from NAPA.

I searched internet for a Bosch Blue Coil. Only one site showed them (expensive) but they are out of stock. Closest I came re Bosch is their Bosch Black 00012 which they relate to VW's. There's a BERO ZS172 but the web page does not list internal Ohms resistance and reviews mention receipt of dented/damaged units. Off to local NAPA to see about their NAPA 1C 14, an equivalent recommended by Charlie.

Charlie responded to a personal email and said the existing Bosch coil purchased in 2016 is no good; coils should not get hot. I had the terminals wired correctly and Charlie was spot-on warning not to allow leaving ignition on if engine not running. He recommended the "Blue Coil" (is that by Bosch ?) or NAPA IC 14, both have internal resistors. This being the second time this scenario occurred, the fact that the engine still ran fine later when the coil was cold may indicate that the distributor, at least up to that point, was functioning. Now have distributor out. Point mechanism's look okay - will check rubbing blocks against an unused set of points. Point contact faces are well aligned, look smooth and not pitted; will check gaps. Will replace condenser - this second episode may have been damaged it and thus caused the engine to sputter and cough when I tried my spare Bubba's unused coil.

Jim Linder "Buba" recommends a Bosch Blue Coil. It has an internal resistor. That's what I run on my 8ba converted to 12 volts with a "Bubba" converted Chevy distributor. Runs great.
