Title: Ignition coil
Post by: Danzo on October 12, 2024, 11:11:53 PM: 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?

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.

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

Dan

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.

Post by: Petes L48 on October 17, 2024, 04:26:44 PM: 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?
Title: Re: Ignition coil
Post by: bcmiller on October 17, 2024, 07:34:46 PM: 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.

Post by: KurtS on October 25, 2024, 04:10:24 AM: 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.
