Okay, so I’ve made good progress until today when I squished the coil wire under the attachment bolt. As repairing seems possible, I’m thinking I’ll replace it. There appears to be two coils used, “W” 58874 and “P” 59860. How does one tell which to use? I’ve found some pics, but they’re not all that descriptive.
Thanks for any help!

Check the flywheel to see if it's "Wico" or "Phelon" , parts aren't interchangeable . A Wico flywheel will use the W-58874 ignition coil .

Thank you, looks like I have the Wico. A quick Google search doesn’t reveal anything on EBay or the like. Any ideas for other sources?

Yes, the A-94325 supersedes the 58874.

So it lives! I started it today for the first time in many years. Thanks everyone for your help, couldn't have done it without.
I didn't rebuild the carb, but it appears to need it as it won't stay running, dies when revved up. Also, I'm using the Stihl oil in the fuel mixture, at 50:1. Any reason that's not appropriate?
thanks again!

The fuel mix should be fine. I would be surprised if the carb DIDN'T need rebuilding. :{)
Congratulations!
