I am in Sweden Europ? soo partsnumber is hard for me to suggest.

Check out coil and condenser that match together for a 60-70.es Chevrolet, Ford or any other brand.
You can use an automotive coil from any car brand and the most imported thing is that the value for the condenser match the coil.
If wrong value the points will arc to much and not last for so long time.

If it is possible do not use an oil insulated coil, use an dry instead.
The disadvantage is that an auto coil is larger and will take more space and maybe it will be harder to find a good mounting place under the hood.

Why not catch a coil and condenser from a yunked car, then it will be not so expensive.

You can use the points that in the OB distributor from the factory, they will do the job.
