Hi Mark, You could try Rex Ward or Universal Jeep Supplies both should have a coil their numbers and contact details are easily found on Google. I have used both for parts and their postage times are usually next day and service second to none. Hope all goes well, best wishes. Dave

Hi Mark, Sorry to hear you're have problems an easy way to check it's a fuel problem is to take along a separate gravity feed fuel tank and connect this direct to the carb if she fires up then you have either a no fuel in the tank or a blocked pick up pipe or filter. Have you taken the cap off as if the vent is blocked this can cause an air lock you usually hear a rush of air when you remove it if this is the problem. If she doesn't fire up once you've done the above then are you sure it's fuel could you have a wire off the coil or closed points ? I agree with the previous post ethanol causes a lot of fuel problems especially when a vehicle has been standing for some time, carbs can gum up and seals break up but as she got you nearly home it should be something fairly simple. Check fuel as described, then remove a plug and see if there's a spark, if not remove the distributor cap and check you have power to the points and there is a gap when on the highest part of the cam, I once went to help a friend who over the phone told me there was a gap at the points and it still wouldn't go ! There was, unfortunately there was a gap the whole time and if the points don't close at all they won't create a spark Hope that makes sense :-) Good Luck mate, Dave

I took my jeep rad to a local company and they had it done and dusted in three days no problem. You can also have the core uprated to provide better cooling if that's an issue at the same time. One thing, to stop it happening again ALWAYS use the proper anti freeze mix summer and winter as it also contains a corrosion inhibitor.
