Bosch 6-volt silver ignition coil, 1.5 ohm primary resistance, epoxy-filled, supplied with factory-style mounting bracket. The correct ignition coil for original 6-volt air-cooled VWs and other vintage European vehicles still running their factory 6V electrical systems. Part #00-9408-B.

Why 6V matters for original-spec VWs

VW Beetles were 6-volt from 1949 through the 1966 model year before VW switched to 12-volt for 1967. Many surviving early Beetles, Buses, Karmann Ghias, and Type 3s remain on their original 6V electrical systems — and most restorers prefer to keep them that way rather than convert to 12V, which alters the car's originality and isn't necessary for normal driving.

Running a 12V coil on a 6V system produces weak spark and unreliable starting. Running a 6V coil on a 12V system burns out the coil and the points in short order. The two are not interchangeable — match the coil voltage to the vehicle's electrical system.

FAQ

Is my car 6V or 12V?
1966 and earlier VWs were 6V from the factory. 1967 and later were 12V. Many early cars have been converted to 12V over the decades — check the battery (a 6V battery is usually marked as such) and the generator (6V generators are physically smaller than 12V alternators).

Why epoxy filled instead of oil filled?
Epoxy-filled coils can be mounted in any orientation — upright, sideways, or upside down — because there's no liquid to migrate. Some original Bosch 6V coils were oil-filled and required upright mounting; this Bosch Silver replaces both styles and is the more flexible choice.

Will this work with Pertronix or electronic ignition?
Pertronix makes 6V versions of some of their Ignitor modules. Check your specific Pertronix unit's specs. A 1.5 ohm coil is on the lower end for stock 6V points ignition and is generally compatible with most 6V electronic ignition modules.

Is the bracket the original factory style?
Yes, the included bracket matches the factory Bosch coil mounting pattern used on air-cooled VWs.

Should I convert to 12V instead?
That's a separate decision. 12V conversion gives you brighter headlights, easier starting, and compatibility with modern accessories — but it requires replacing the generator, regulator, coil, lights, and any 6V accessories. For a daily-driven restoration, 12V conversion is reasonable. For a numbers-correct restoration, keep it 6V.

A lovely and inexpensive touch for formal events.
Color: Navy Blue
Beautiful navy blue color, and well made! Nice to be able to carry it over the shoulder or by hand, with the strap tucked inside the bag.

Not Too Big or Too Small; Perfect Size
First of all, the picture shown on Amazon does not do this purse justice. The colour is beautiful and it pops. I love the design of this purse as it is not too big and not too small; it's is just the perfect size for any occasion. The styling of the outer layer is just perfect and not too over the top. Normally, when purses have rhinestones on them, it often gives off a rough feel but not this purse so no need to worry about that. Lastly and my favourite part is the small pocket that is inside. I'm a girl who loves to bring her ID and debit cards wherever she goes plus her little cash so that small pocket will be perfect to store these. This is definitely worth it.

Cute bag, cheap chain
Color: Stain Navy Blue1
Very cute, very spacious. I was able to keep my phone and a mini sewing kit with me but the chain broke 10 minutes into the reception while standing in line for the buffet. The whole point in buying this was so I could keep my stuff with me and not risk putting it on a table to the side of the dance floor after dinner. The bag itself is cute and I can get a replacement chain but it's unfortunate that I have to spend more money to make it work.
