[Budz]

Another kanundrum for Chuck........ Mine, and most I have seen, have the dash between the letter's.

B-R stamp(with dash between the letter's)

BR (with no dash)

This probably doesn't help, but I have an original 293 laying here on the shelf, and it is B-R.

Here Is A Little Coil History For Your Question

Coils Are Embossed With The Three Digit Code That Represents A Coil Assembly - Most 12 Volt Coils Are Phyiscally The Same Except For The Embossed Three Digit CODE - Early Coils Do Have Delco-remey In A Smaller Font

The Three Didgit Code Is In Reference To The Coil Bracket With A Certain Degree Angle Needed For An Engine And Air Cleaner Application

THE 293 COIL ASSEMBLY IS THE STANDARD COIL BRACKET USED ON MOST CARS AND TRUCKS AND USES A 25 DEGREE ANLGE

SPECIAL HI-PERFORMANCE CARS USE COIL BRACKETS WITH MORE THAN THE STANDARD 25 DEGREE ANGLE AND WILL VARY ON APPLICATION

Original Delco-remy Coils From 1955 To 1967 Use The 12V
083 12V
204 12v
267 12v

Original Delco-remy Coils from 1966-67 use BR
270 BR

Original Delco-remy Coils Changed In 1968 To B-r
270 B-r 293 B-r

270 Br Coil Was First Used On The 1966 Chevelle With The 4 Bc And The Big 17" Air Cleaner

1968-72 Corvette - 1969 Z28 W/ Cowl Induction Used The 270 B-r

1969 Z28 W/O COWL INDUCTION 298 B-R

1970-72 Z28 Used The 270 B-r

Here is an addtion to what has been said. Here are two "202" coils.
The one on the right is NOS. Each has under the "202" embosed "12V" I also have some "270" coils with the "12V" instead of "BR"

Nice explanation M21. sound's like you have some knowledge about this stuff.

I'd call you by your name, but I don't see it. Maybe update your profile.....

Shake'em, if you don't hear the oil in them then wouldn't they overheat?

Looking for info on correct style coil bracket for L78 camaros. I believe the L78s used a 293 B-R coil. After reading M21RSZ28 post not sure which coil bracket style would be correct, a standard angle bracket or a bracket with more angle?

Is this a 25 degree angle or more than 25 degrees.
