Ignition coil screw

[rjprice]

I have a '69 L48 with cowl induction.  I was missing the screw for the coil bracket so I ordered one from a parts house ($7 for a screw).  When I got it it was too short.

I have a 270 coil and "a" leaning bracket.  Is there more than one leaning bracket?  is there more than 1 screw? i.e., doe thes leaning bracket get a different screw?

I bet your using an aftermarket coil that may be a little too large?  Seen that many times.  If you had to spread the bracket apart to make the coil fit - then probably larger than original Delco.

It's a "270" coil I got off Ebay.  I can measure it.  Anyone know the standard diameter of the "270" coil? anyone know the length of the original leaning bracket screw also?
