These motors turn up often enough that I don’t believe they warrant the “rare” designation. That being said, it is a one-year offering, but they did build/sell a bunch of them.
I keep saying this, but the best source of parts are club members. I don’t know how many people who participate on this board are paid-up members of the AOMCI, but I’d suggest that if you are one of those folks, and you’re looking for parts, start attending club events or get to know people who do and are willing to help you in your search for whatever is needed. We used to have a very good vendor of antique outboard motor parts but he has gotten out of the business and I don’t know of anyone who has stepped in to fill the void.
The military coils can be adapted to almost any antique motor application but it is almost never a simple parts swap, there’s usually some rudimentary fabricating involved for almost every installation. Your easiest swap is another Evinrude coil from that year, since they used the same ignition system on many 1929 Evinrude motors. This one used on a 1929 Fleetwin might even interchange (just an example, not for sale)
