Default Helmet distributor 12 volt options?

Is there a part available for the Helmet distributor that is 12 volt instead of 6 but it still looks like the old style coil?(not the later coils used in the 60's cars and trucks).

thanks in advance guys.

Skip Haney can rebuild your original coil to negative ground

He uses the same coil for 12 and 6 the only difference is the polarity and resistor used
