I'm trying to gain some knowledge about the "correct" ignition coil used in these cars.
According to J MacNeish the coils came with 202 BR stamps.
I 'believe' this was the case for early cars & wondered if the coils changed to the 270 BR coils later in the production year. The same as flat hood '69 Z's
My car is June built & want o find this out ASAP.

So.... what have you guys got on your '68's & please add the build month.

Thanks in advance,

Rob

John,

You're right & I'm definitely not an expert. There's probably no such animal as a 202 BR.

Your coil would look great on my engine....

On ebay the other evening a Corvette resto company had New GM (Delco) 202 coils for $69.99 BUY it now. In the pic it looks identical to yours....maybe the way to go.

I tried to look it up to add a link but now I can't find it,
typical...

I'm looking forward to hearing from other guys.

Thanks,

Rob

I have a 293BR coil on my 69Z.Don't know if that is correct for my car,but the BR is on it, so maybe there is a 202BR.

From what I have learned, the 293 was for a NON cowl hood car and the 270 is for a cowl hood car. This was told to by Larry Christensen in Colorado.
