    I would think that by 1938 it would be a standard Ford 6 V coil, not the model T buzz coil.  Looks like what is going on here is using the Ford coil primary voltage spike to juice the Bendix coil. Normaly one would just use low voltage  ( 6 maybe 12 V) to test a coil, but the voltage from the shorted Ford coil will be considerably higher, like a couple hundred volts… ( I think ?)  We need Jeff R to chime in on this.
