That is the wrong coil. You'll burn up your points. Takes a 3.5 ohm coil.

I ground off a bit of the top, to make room for a couple of those new washers. We'll see how it all goes together when the washers come in. I guess if it's too much of a hassle, I'll just order a new carb.

No, that is not stock.

For that matter, I have a glow plug relay for my PowerStroke on the shelf that probably would have worked.
No, a solenoid is not a solenoid. Very different designs, and configurations. Yes, your PS glow plug relay would work.... but it's a relay, not a solenoid. Don't make that mistake going the other way. Can't use a solenoid in place of a relay... besides, that gp relay is more expensive than a solenoid. Better save it. Your Ford will likely need it soon... they break down a lot.
