293 BR coil index
« on: June 01, 2024, 07:30:29 PM »
Hi Guys,

Quick question, what direction does the does the embossed 293 BR face when mounted in the bracket? In the judging manual it says the numbers should be index towards the back of the car.... But the picture in the judging manual shows the numbers facing the front of the car?

UPC 6 / B5  (V8) shows the coil mounted position as it relates to Polarity of the primary winding terminals.
Typically the Neg towards the Offset Dizzy, which commonly results in the Embossed PN facing rearward.
I would think the wording on the Judging manual should read as such, I have not studied Coils it may be the Delco construction drawing makes a positioning note as the windings are inserted and the coil shell top crimped.

Yea I saw UPC 6 and figured that was correct but wanted to double check. I'm going to mount it with the embossed PN facing rearward.Thank you!

My point exactly. Picture shows proper orientation, NOT. It appears there are many errors in the manual and I speculate nobody outside the judging circle of trust read it before print. I would go with the printed instructions and not the picture.
