So far I'm getting the distributor adapter plate from Macs; is the coil available commonly? If so, what am I after?
Any leads on this stuff really appreciated.

The Coil adapter kit allows you to get away from a specific distributer mounted coil and use ANY GENERIC COIL. The choice of coil is now up to you, with only a 6 volt or 12 volt electrical system being the deciding factor. What electrical system are you going to run? Original 6 volt, or a change to 12 volt?

Thanks Tony, I'm sticking with the 6 volt for originality. At my local autoparts place today they have in stock a 6 volt coil used for tractors etc. which I think will do fine. I'm just now trying to decide what to do for wires as they're pretty bad. I'm leaning towards making my own but unsure if it's possible to easily connect to the distributor terminal cap. The cap seems pretty good.

Thoughts?
