I need to find the correct Ignition Coil for my 1968 327/350 L79 wo/transistor ignition.
My question is: I have found a unit that is a reproduction of original with GM tooling. The seller says the part number is 1115270, embossed with 270.
In researching for the correct coil I refered to the Motor Books Workshop - Corvette Parts Interchange Manual 1968-1982 and on page 91 it shows "1968 327 wo/transistor ignition, part number 1115270. Usage: 1968 - 1971 Corvetter wo/transistor ignition; 1964 -1967 Impala & Chevelle with transistor ignition; and 1964 - 1969 Pontiac with transistor ignition". All of this is fine and good.
The problem and question I have it shows "Notes: stamped 176 - 12V". So was the orginal coil empossed 270 or 176?
Yes, the Judging guide page 47 says: Coils are embossed with the last three digits of their Chevrolet part number and those embosed with 270 and 263 have the letters "B-R" below the numbers. The judging book does say the 1115270 is also for the 300HP.
Maybe in the interchange book "stamped" is something other than embossed?
Anybody out there have an orginal 1115270 ignition coil for a 327/350 L79?
