Has anyone put on one of the repo coils? Do they function good? had any problems with them? I see some on ebay even come in the repo DELCO box. any thoughts?

Re: RE-PO Coils
I think that you will find the function acceptable but there are visible differences in the configeration of the tops where the connections are. I believe that there was an article in the Corvette Restorer recently that had photos and a description of the variationsDick Whittington -

I have one on mine,
a "086" repro I got from MaryJo. Even under a glass, seems to be good enough for "flite", and I installed it when I last tuned up the engine. It now runs better than it has since the engine was new in 1972, maybe better.Comment

Re: I have one on mine,
The 086 repro is nice and good for flight judging, I have one , but I found one NOS on E-Bay no one bided , $80.00 . it's more like a nickel plating -a bit shiny then the repro.which has a repro .covering. Conner first did themComment

Figures, after a year or more
of searching eBay, an NOS 086 came up, I was high bidder (at a lot more than $80) and somebody "swooped" me 30 seconds before the end of bidding. I was so bummed at getting burned after such a long search, I called Mary Jo the next day.
On balance, though, I got an NOS 55 volt regulator on eBay about the same time for the cost of the typical service replacement. Never seen one before or since, not even used.Comment
