Jim:
There were two types of coils used on 1929 models. Early cars used a coil with an oval cross section. Later cars used a coil with a round cross section. Both coils have a bracket that clamps around the coil and attaches to the back of the dash. The ignition switch is on the end of the coil that faces toward the dash and the switch protrudes into a hole in the dash, giving access for the key. The early switch attaches to the coil with screws. The later switch is fastened with lugs bent over the switch (were there some later switches that attached with screws also?). I have been told that Atwater Kent can rebuild these coils (508) 792-9500, but haven't checked with them to verify. I have attached a picture of early and late 6th series coils.
Good Luck,
