Delco 380 6 volt coil - for 53-55 ?

[Mark P.]

I bought this coil which came on a Harley Davidson motorcycle. I bought it to get the terminal hardware.

Is this coil correct for a 53-55 Corvette too ?

Are they pretty easy to come by ? I think they were also used on tractors.

#394 is for the 6V 54 but any 6Volt coil will work

Roy is right. 53-54 Corvettes came with 394 coils originally (at least the 54s did). The 380 6 volt coils were later GM replacements for the 394 coils. I have an NOS 380 coil, and I didn't pay all that much for it. 394 coils are rare and expensive.
