    Hello all,

    Looking for a couple of correct 1970 ignition coils. These are both for 70 Stage 1 cars. One is a October 69 build and the other is for a April 70 build if it makes a difference.

    Thanks

    Hello All,

    Based on our Buick guru, Duane, it sounds like the correct coil # number is 1115247. Typically, the coil is embossed with a 247 number.

    Thanks

    If anyone has one, I need an ignition coil for an early 1969 GS -- built August / September 1968. NOS preferred (GSFred -- check the time machine, please.)

    I have a box of these. I think a lot of them are embossed 242. I will be back Monday and could take some pictures.

    This came off my low mileage 70 motor. Can’t find the rest of the date code but it’s stamped 247

    Have two Olds 455 coils acquired in recent clean out of friends leftover cutlass stuff. Maybe? the same animal?
    Haven't cleaned muck off them yet.
