Are you looking for correct appearance or just functionality?
The link above shows two fairly costly alternatives. I think they they are lookalike replacements, one imported and one made in the United States. If you click on the right-hand (domestic) one, the catalog will show you down toward the bottom of the page three less expensive ones that are make no attempt toward correct appearance but claim to work with TI. I have no experience with these units myself, nor any with the factory TI at all, but this is what I found.

Try K&B Corvette Products. They may or may not sell direct, but they can tell you who/where you can get their product. It is a GM licensed reproduction TI coil #263 for 1967 Corvette. They are the source.
Zip or Corvette Central or LICS may also stock them.

This is from Zip. I am almost certain that it is the K&B coil I mentioned. http://www.zip-corvette.com/catalog/...-coil-1115263/
They (Zip) also shows one generic coil at about 1/2 the price. May not be USA made. You could call and ask.
NAPA also has good parts and could be a local source. They will tell you if USA made before you buy if you ask them. I don't have a NAPA part number for you, but they should be able to cross reference your original coil number.
Obviously I like/recommend the K&B product. But I'm not buying…..

All other suppliers including K&B was china made Just for your info This group really rocks Thanks again Michael
