Help me find ignition coil

having difficulty trying to find a source for a 6v ignition coil for my '48 flat head 239 v8. Anyone have a thought. Shouldn't be that difficult right?

also..found a set of 8 new motorcraft spark plugs on ebay for $19.
see other for a lot more money..what's wrong with these?

anyone have a suggestion for me please.

Same thing with spark plugs. Napa will have them. Even O'Reilly and AutoZone should carry them.

Put a long hose attachment on it & positioned it near the exit . When the bees tried to enter or exit --sucked up .A buddy came by while I was doing this , you could hear them buzzing ).

Mine was the other day. I was helping Chris tear down a barn. All that is standing is the wood post frame, not much left about a third of it is rotted away. There's piles of debris laying around. Some guy come waltzing out of the farm house around 2:00 in the afternoon holding a cup of coffee, baggy shorts and baseball turned around. Looked like he just got up. He walks up to me and asks, "Tearing down the barn?" I stood there for a few seconds thinking of the answers I could give him but then decided to just say, "Yeah, the whole thing." He just shook his head and walked away.
