Coil
The original coil in the Ford is only a 4.5 volt coil. The 6 volt supply is reduced via a resistor in behind the dash panel in most carriers. You would need to by pass this resistor if you fit a 6 volt coil.
The next thing is to change the condensor for one which suits the coil. (with a change of coil voltage it is nessassary to change the capacitence of the condensor, (measured in microfarads), other wise the contact sets (points) life expectancy will be reduced. The capacitance of the condensor dictates whether metal transfers from one contact to the other (or not)(please excuse the spelling) As long as the capacity is correct, the physical look of a condensor does not matter as long as it can be mounted and the wire can be hooked up. ... So ...basically you want a condensor made for a 6 volt system to go with your 6 volt coil. This applies to all standard coil ignition systems of this type.
Hope this helps.
