But that's not correct.
69's had the 293 coil.

Your right but I wasn't wrong, we both gave partial listings for there was also a 298 for the 69 and a Transistorized Model 210. My original numbers were the Chevy Parts Counter version. But as shortages arise other units were used from other lines.

Shortages? What shortages?
Learning more and more about less and less...

1967-1974 1115238. Stamped 238 BR for V-8
1967-1974 1115202 Stamped 202 -12V for all but V-8

This info comes from Chiltons Labor Guide and Parts Manual 1974 45th year
This book tells the amount of time required to repair a car as well as all the part numbers so the mechanic can walk over to the parts counter and get the right part. Great Resourse.
238 and 202 were never used on Camaros from the factory. That is wrong information.
Original coils and starters are very poorly documented in parts manuals.  I have 3 or 4 GM parts manuals (from 68/69, not later years like 74) and none of the listings are complete / correct.

 Though not a COPO, both my 67's L35's still have their 267-BR coils.

I started a research topic.... :)
Which forced me to find many of the answers.
