People used to cut the top off a Coors beer can and slide it up the bottom for this ...looks kind of kool
Back in the day 60s - early 70s it wasn't a bad idea if you were in the extreme heat , our Trans tech had one on his 67 alfa 1750cc 16v .
He was an Army Ranger in Nam the army engineers instructed the guys that drove to place it on there coil with a pitcher like spout
,have a musterd squirter bottle of water to squirter in the can to cool the coil on 105+ days. The ign often went south from the heat esp. on V8s with coil on the intake

Standard Ignition has coils, electronic or points it makes a difference. If you are points just use the recommended coil for the roadster and if you have an electronic distributor use one from a 280Z as they were all electronic distributor in the Z’s per the Standard Ignition catalog.
