Sprint Coil

Short answer: The short air-cooled coil is correct for the 1968–69 OHC-6. (1966–67 Sprints used a conventional oil-filled coil — with the TI transistor ignition in 1966 and CD capacitive-discharge ignition in 1967.) There’s no off-the-shelf replacement that matches the original air-cooled coil.

Unless it’s a points-judged car, the practical fix is a pointless conversion with a conventional coil (mounted on the firewall or fender) — 99% of people won’t know the difference.
