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.

LOVE. Ordering more colors.
Size: Medium, Color: Porpoise, Size: Medium, Color: Porpoise
I absolutely LOVE this sweater. This sweater is so flattering and comfortable. Great quality and the material is cozy and soft. I will be ordering this in more colors for sure! I just got it today but I know this will be my go to this season for lounging as well as being out and about. It could easily be dressed up or down and I love the Porpoise color I got (see photos). Originally I thought this came in a set but I still thinks its worth the price for just the sweater and I plan to order the shorts anyway. I got the medium and it fit true to size and so flattering. I am 5ft 2 and about 140lbs being heavier in my legs/hips. I generally wear a small/medium on top depending on the style and a large/XL on bottom. Definitely will be getting more colors!!

beautiful Perfect Sweater! Highly Recommend!
Size: 3X, Color: Zephyr Pink
Gorgeous color. Soft and snuggly. Cool enough in summer for office wear. My office sometimes gets cold even in the summer and this sweater is perfect. I wear it with brown slacks and it looks very professional but could be dressed down for casual affairs. The cut is generous and maybe even runs a little large however, I like the loose fit. I still can't get over the neutral pink color. It is just amazing and was a real steal as it was on sale when I ordered it!

Stylish and comfortable
Size: 3X, Color: Porpoise
I love the slit in the back, it elevates the sweater well. It’s comfortable and made out of a thick, quality material. The only downside is that the sleeves are quite long and don’t roll up well. Otherwise I love it!

Cute but pills
Size: 3X, Color: Chocolate
Runs a little big. I’m good with that. The style and brown color are great! I love the wide sleeves. The material is very soft and cozy…but I wore it once for 3 hours and the sides and stomach area pilled. I am disappointed. I am going to hand wash it and see what it looks like. I may need to return it.
