[Chevelle-list] help needed with replacement HEI coil

Hi all,

Well, for the past 5 years I've been enjoying my 327
which has been running flawlessly off of a Delco Remy
distributor with HEI.  However, it picked today of all
times to quit (now currently stranded at my sister's
place).

The problem is, I don't know what model distributor
and cap it is, and am wondering if there is a
universal replacement from an auto parts store I can
get ASAP.  The distributor is a Delco Remy, and was in
a 283 at the time that I got it (around 2001-2002).  I
have never had to change the coil out of the cap, and
actually dropped that distributor right into the 327 I
have in the car now w/no issues whatsoever.  It's been
100% all the way.  Looking at the cap tonight (just
before the sun went down), I found the #9598 on the
cap, and the coil is 3.5" x 3.5" in the top.  The
distributor cap is tan in color with the top being
black.  Wondering if anyone can point me in the
direction of what HEI coil I need from the parts store
in the AM, going off of what I've mentioned here. 
Thanks in advance for any help!
