Nice Engine
For ignition you need 2 model T Ford ignition coils.
For spark plugs you want either Motocraft or Autolite. The application to ask for is Model T Ford.
If you go to the ignition section of this web page there is info on how to wire coils and also info on how to make what you need using conventional igniiton coils,a Bosch Relay and a couple of condensers.
Hope this helps
Ernie

I have a similar engine without the reverse gear in my shop, belongs to a friend. It's a 12hp. I wasn't there when they first cranked it, but it ran away and scared them. We ran it and I got it to idle down, it's a good runner. Richard D may have a picture on file.
