Re: Coil Connection

As far as I know Clippers only used coils by Autolite or Delco with Autolite being used on the Customs. Both coils had the same single terminal arrangement on the bottom but the cups and method for securing the armored cable to the coil base were different. It sounds as if your NOS coil might be from some other car because to the best of my knowledge Packard never used a coil on the Clippers that did not have a screw or stud terminal of some type. Perhaps you could post a photo showing what you are working with and someone will be familiar with the coil and terminal connection.

Here is the coil off my 47 Custom showing the terminal and also the tabs used on that brand for holding on the cover cup. I believe it is the Autolite. Another pair of photos show both type of cups and the final photo shows the Delco with the different twist on method of cup attachment. It should also have a screw on terminal at the bottom for the connection.
