C1 091 coil question

[Donald H.]

I know this has been hashed around before, but I could not find any info that was recent regarding reproduction 091 coils. According to the 58-60 TIM & JG the 'Original 091 and 107 coils have only a shoulder on top through which the terminal post projects; there is NOT a second shoulder or "hump" as the bakelite rises up to form the center terminal.'

Attached are pictures from Paragon and Corvette Central web sites. It looks like the Paragon one is close to the original configuration as I can see a second shoulder or hump on the Corvette Central one next to the center post but not on the one at Paragon.

Anyone know if these at Paragon will pass judging? Also, the Paragon one is a lot more expensive at $160 and the CC one is $89.95.

corvette central is a 1963 type 091 with hump. paragon would need 091 on bottom and small holes on top near terminals. email me and i will send you a picture of a 091 coil i think will pass. pronesti is the supplier and it willrun approximately $240.
