1969 z/28 ignition coil (early z/28 october 1968)

[asm69]

I am trying to find out what ignition coil came with a October 1968 produced
1969 z/28 camaro. Is it a 293 BR coil or a 298 BR coil.

Thanks for any information.

Non cowl hoods z's I have found 298 and cowl hood cars 270. Your car would have had a 298. There are alway exceptions but that is what I have found.

Be aware that the part numbers shown in the Assembly Manual are for the coil ASSEMBLY, which includes the coil and the mounting bracket (they came from Delco-Remy with the mounting bracket and clamp screw already installed); the coil used with the ZL2 hood had a different ASSEMBLY number because it came with a different mounting bracket (to clear the air cleaner base). I don't have the details handy, but I wouldn't be surprised if the coil itself was the same part number in both applications, with a different ASSEMBLY number due only to the brackets.

The assembly manual calls out for P/N "1115270 Coil Asm RPO L48 & Z28"  I don't know what the P/N's are for this assembly however.  There is some physical difference with the asm, either the coil is shorter or the bracket is at a different angle for the ZL2 option.  I do not have the correct setup for my car(:  If the bracket is different does any have a good source?

John Z is correct.

SB duct hood cars used a coil assembly with the '66-'67 275/327 bracket. It positions the coil at slightly greater angle from vertical to clear the larger ducted hood breather.

So what number should be on the coil itself?

[JohnZ]

Not positive on the Camaro, but the NCRS guide calls out the 1115270 for the '68-'70 Corvette 300 & 350hp engines with point ignition, and that's the number embossed on the coil itself.

298 for the 69 Z/28. Some may of had 293's but depends on who was on the line that day.  Sam
