Ignition coil

[Danzo]

Need a coil for a 69 Z. Are there any new ones out there worth buying or should I try and find a 55 year old original?

Thank you for that link but I am looking for input on whether the repop ignition coils are any good or do I search for an original one.

Coils can be tested to see if they are good. 

I sold one earlier this year, it was the 270 - correct for the ZL2 hood.  I wasn't sure if it was any good. Sold it to a guy, he had it tested and it was good. I don't have any extras at this time.

I just bought a 270 coil , they are hard to find and an original one is expensive.

[camaronut]

They were being repro'd for awhile - then no more.  Wonder why.

Is this what you are looking for? Mitch

For the Sake of Conversation, it is Not just the Coil, but the accompanying Bracket that configures a C. I. Coil set up, the Angle of the Bracket is set back greater in an effort to "Clear' the Large Diameter air cleaner body. - Correct?

(Re. I used the Tip-Trick) from Chick to clear a 68 C.P. Air cleaner.

That's how I always understood it.  http://www.camaros.org/engine.shtml#coils

1969 application beyond 9/68 would be 270 B-R.

Only the 3,500 or so Z/28s built with the ducted hood used the 1115270 coil & bracket assembly.

Z/28s built with the standard production hood used the 1115298 coil & bracket assembly.

Would that 270 coil The Parts Place sells (no dash between the B and R) be correct in appearance for a 67 L48?  Did anyone have thoughts or experience on the quality of these repop coils?

[bcmiller]

As William stated - the 270 coil is only technically correct for the 1969 Z28 with ducted hood.

Ah, okay.  So the Ignition Coils paragraph under the Engine section appears to be incorrect.  It reads:

67 V8:
1115267 - used on many applications including LF7(base 327), L35, and L78.
1115270 and another coil (possibly 290) - used on L30 and SS350 cars. It appears that the ignition resistance wire changed from 1.8 ohm to 1.3 ohm in production and so the coil may be an early vs late usage.

Looking at the 67 AIM under UPC 6 Sheet B5, it appears the coil assembly for V8s went from 204 to 242 and then 267.

I generated that coil listing - it is correct. Bryon and William's comments are about 1969 usage.

Those other two coils are before production started.
