MG TD TF 1500 - Wanted - Screw-in cap 3 ohm Sports Coil

Three times in the past year I have been grounded because of the coil high tension cable backing out of the mount. Was very embarrassed last month when Lazarus died during the July 4th parade with the symptoms of vapor lock. Spent over an hour with the right side bonnet open and devices attacking the carburetors. Had to call AAA for a lift home for the first time for Lazarus since he went on the road in 1995. At home I opened the left bonnet side and found the villain. No more push-in high voltage connector.

Where can I find a screw-in cabled 3 ohm sports coil?
Archive hunting shows some previous attacks without success. Closest was an adapter invented by Jim Northrup. The 3 ohm requirement is for my use of pertronix systems.

FYI I just got my OEM distributor back from Jeff Schlemmer. He does fantastic work. I installed the new distributor and a new set of BP6ES plugs. Set the ignition at TDC. Pulled the starter switch and had ignition on the first meeting of petrol and spark. WOW!

The problem is that I want a coil that has a threaded high-voltage terminal. Bud

Bud,
They can be used on a push fit coil and they sit really tight.
