Hey guys,

Does anyone in Nova Land have any information on the correct number factory ignition coil (with points) that originally came on a 1966 L-79 SS from the factory.

I have seen number matching cars for sale that list the Delco 1115204 (204-12V) as the correct coil and say it's very rare. The factory assembly instruction manual page 258 shows the L -79 coil as part #20 in the diagram which is listed as "Production Part" with no number.

The Chevrolet 1962-1969 dealer Parts and Accessories Catalog page 2-4 ( number 2.170 Coil Ignition ) shows:

64-69 All (exc. T. Ign.) .......................... 1115202 11.00 w/1.8 OHM wire (stamped 202-12)

The publication 1965-69 Chevrolet By The Numbers ( by Alan Colvin ) list's the correct points distributer as part # 1111154, but doesn't list a coil number.

Trying to locate where the 1115204 coil is shown as the correct part for the 1966 Chevy ll L-79.

Thanks

I was told the L-79 350 HP Ignition Coil is 1115039 buy a fairly knowledgeable L79 guy. The GM Heritage site has specifications.

Here is the line https://www.gm.com/content/dam/comp...mation-kits/chevrolet/1966-Chevrolet-Nova.pdf

Go to the last page of the document, the index says page 13, so go back up about 10 pages (to page 13).

I put the 039 on my L79 engine. I also heard that 202 is correct.
