Well I appreciate all the replies from all of you re. my Napa 6v coil experience. For any of you who hadn't caught my last reply in that thread I had returned both of them and with much relief as they cost $43. They have no competition here in Warroad MN so we pay full retail. Neither worked in either of our 6v M Farmalls.
Because the tractor I was working on runs strictly off the battery w/ no generator the only 6v component on the tractor is the starter. After quizzing a few of you in another post regarding the voltage impact (6v vs 12v) on points/condenser it occurred to me that a 12v coil was the better choice. Checking on Ebay I could get a generic forklift coil to my door for about $20. But I didn't know if it would work so shied away from that option.
I don't know why I didn't think of it sooner but I then realized we had a whole pasture full of 12v coils. I picked a Honda and BOOM I'm in business. M runs like a top after sitting for years.
Thanks again for all the input. One last thing though. I will give you an update on the Napa coils. There was a lot of hypothesis in the former thread re. the Napa coils failing to work. None really satisfied me (somehow, an internally ballasted 6v coil just make zero sense to me)
I'll take this up with Napa and get the facts from the horses mouth. I'll let you know.

With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I’m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I’ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I’ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see.
