See my post just before yours.

That's a great photo, West. I have to look at my wire holder bracket. Both yours and Jim's have a horizontal strip to attach it. I think mine only has a hole up high that fits under a head nut. Maybe earlier cars had that. Mine sold on 1st day of announcement Aug '39. However it could be from the '40 120 replacement I had in there for a short time or from this '48 356.

Maybe from the 120. See this nice photo of the parts from Dave C of his '40 120.

No horizontal strip under the wire holder and the coil is on the head. (Tho I know it attaches to the air cleaner too cuz I had it that way.)

Well, still in flux I guess.

I don't know if there was an early/late version, but if there was it would fall into the dates our two cars were made/delivered. My car has the highest known serial number for its body style, and was delivered in mid July 1940.
