Go to junk yard and look under hoods. Find any double spark plug wire coil and buy it. Install it on your bike, it will work fine (most likely :))
Don't forget to paint it orange before installation, otherwise spark will be wrong color.

NIETHER! It was epoxy on the 1975 OEM - AMF Harley Davidson coil
For your enjoyment, I will go to the garage and take a picture, later on.
Thanks for checking.

If the coil still works, I'd put Crazy glue in the crack then epoxy/ JB weld so it won't move. Who knows, you might get lucky.
