Strange Encounter of The AC Delco Kind

[Dale Pearman]

This is a 107 12V ignition coil with pitted botom case from sitting in a fuelie coil bracket for many years. It has the rectangular washers with a tang that fits into one of two small holes at 12:00 o'clock and six o'clock adjacent to the terminals for the primary circuit.

There are NO rectangular "HUMPS" on either side of the high voltage terminal. The top of the coil says, "Delco Remy made in USA" as it should. By every measure it appears to be an early style 107 coil EXCEPT:

It has a brown alkylid top! ?????????????????? I've never seen this configuration. What on earth am I looking at?

Possibly used in stationary engine application?

Simple, Delco ran out of black and used Brown compound

Dale, Maybe its a high performance Pontiac or Oldsmobile of that late 50's or early 60's vintage. Remember Pontiac had a pink coil and distributor cap on one of its models.

Re: Strange Encounter of The AC Delco Kind

I have saw lots of them and never thought much about them . The coils were probably not the same part numbers as the Vettes but they were on alot of early 70s G.M. cars when I worked as a mechanic at the dealship. Later when I moved over to parts there were some of them sold over the counter as replacment parts. Now I wish I had paid more attention. BOB

Re: Strange Encounter of The AC Delco Kind

Do you recall if they were marked "107" and "12 V" Bob?

Re: Strange Encounter of The AC Delco Kind

Dale. It was along time ago and I wasn't looking at numbers , just tuning things up. I'm sure they were on 73 and 74 Chevy 's and some Oldsmobiles etc. Now that I know I will look around the next time at the wrecking yard. If I find some I will give you a shout. BOB
