1967 Camaro Ignition Coils

[red67]

Thanks both of you for responding quickly. I've got a lot of documentation and service manuals etc on my car and cars in general from the era that I've accumulated over the last 38 years that my wife and I have owned the car. My wife worked for awhile at a GM dealer in the parts department so I have old parts books and other literature from the 1970s. I just can't find anything on the 039 coil at all. There are two for sale on Ebay so they do exist other than mine. The car is at friend of mines having some work done so I can't take pictures of the coil or measure the resistance of the coil or the resistance wire today but I'll try and do that tomorrow.

Thanks for the link for the Sun data. I was able to download the picture of the 1967 327/275 data from Ebay where a sheet is for sale. I don't think the 115 coil was installed on the 327/275 in 1967 model year on the assembly line. I have not found any data to support that. Although, none to support the 039 coil either. However, during the fall of 1966 there was a shortage of V8 engines for the new Camaro, particularly the 350, so it is quite possible a number of different coils may have been used depending on supply. I doubt the line would have been shut down for a coil issue. An example is the transistor ignition coils where I believe about 7 different ones were used in production but only one was available for service.

As noted, it likely may be hard to determine what actually happened and what was installed. However, it would be nice if members here posted a note with their coil data. I know it is likely not a high priority to have the exact coil but it can affect how your car runs.
