Super A No Fire At Coil

Hello guys. I'm new to the Farmall forum. Just bought a Super A, l952. Tractor is in good shape, saw it run several years ago and was an excellent running machine, good paint and tin. I have one problem and that is no fire at the coil. It has a Delco alternator, 12 volt battery and a coil that looks ancient. Never seen one like it. The wire that runs from the switch to the battery side of the coil has some type of inline fuse within a small ceramic case. Inside of this case is also a coiled spring looking deal. The fuse is blown and the spring is burned into. If I cut the switch on for about 30 seconds, the ceramic case will get hot as a fire cracker and burn you.

I am not sure if this is a 12 or 6 volt coil. I was considering replacing it with a standard 12 volt coil and take out this fuse link or whatever it is, and run a straight line to the new coil. Would I be making a mistake? At present, there is no fire coming out of the distributor side of the coil. The engine turns over but will not hit. Have checked the coil wire, holding it 1/8th of an inch from a ground and got nothing. Any help you Farmall "Fellers" could give me would be more than appreciated.
