Title: 1968 Z 28 Delco Remy Coil
Post by: Larry on May 26, 2009, 03:42:45 PM

I think I found the original coil for my 1968 Z 28. The number is 723 BR. I was wondering if this is the right one for my 12E car.
Thanks,
Larry

In 1968, all Camaro V8 engines with the standard ignition (without Transistorized Ignition) used the 293-BR Coil. I don't know what the 723-BR coil is for.

Early and mid production Z28's used a 202 coil, have documented this on many cars over the past 30 years.  And I'm not convinced that the 293 was ever used on the '68 Z28, but I have seen some on late cars but can't guarantee they were original.

Jerry is correct on the 202 for the early cars. My 12d fathom blue z has a 202. 298 was used on the later cars and into 1969. My very original 07c 68z has a 298 coil . The car never had its intake off and it still has all of its original plugwires .So when did they change from the 202 to the 298? John  Allouez Restorations

Thanks for all the info on the coil. Now I know what I have to look for.
