Generally a universal 6v coil should work just fine. But remember it's a 6v coil, not a 12v one. So you really should be looking to buy a 6volt battery or things could get expense if you start smoking parts. Napa sells 6v batteries that will fit.

If you are planning on going 12v, then go buy a 12v coil and a 12v solenoid for testing. Of course there are other things that would have to be changed out as well (bulbs, voltage step downs for the gauges, etc).
