Ford was using what they had from other projects for the T-16. The fan belts came from the Ford M7 medium tank and the hull drain plugs came from the Ford Deerhound. Both really never got off the ground. Lots of Ford jeep and GPA parts in the mix as well as Ford commercial truck parts.
Add to that the coil on the T-16 was still 6-volt while the battery was 12-volt. So keep that in mind if using a distributor top mounted original type coil as opposed to a 12-volt canister type mounted on the side of the block. Sure a lot of people have burned up 6-volt coils for lack of having the right components to step the voltage down.
