With few exception, there is no such thing as a 6, 12, or 24V coil. When GM went from 6 to 12V, they just addded a ballast resistor to keep the current within limits. I have measured numerous reo and gmc coils and each measured identical to every old old 6 or 12V coil that I could find. The...

-This is a very old design (384 were built in 1969).
-While rebuild kits for a basic 4LE are available, housings and turbines are no longer supported by Borg Warner.
