hit it with a yellow sharpie?

I'm soaking my original coil in EvapoRust right now. The lettering is starting to reappear. If anyone cares, I can post some pics later. The lettering is a very light green.

Although very similar, my coil says MADE IN U.S.A. right below the part number. The older style font is very crisp compared to what I see on mine. Mine definately looks like a stamp where the older one looks like a dry transfer.

I can post some pics tonight.

I did the dry transfer thing to my FBO coil (which recently crapped out)
I could only find white transfers at the time....came out pretty good but was time consuming.

Put me down for one to spruce up my painted black MSD Blaster II coil

Original 73 coil with 392 date code...

Darrin, maybe someday ECS will show some love for us 72-74 guys. They've got great products, but if it's made after 1971 you're pretty much out of luck. I would love to have the correct looking coil for my 73 too.

Anybody else have a Canadian coil? This is original from my 69 Barracuda assembled Hamtramck Nov 68 and delivered to Houston.

The top number is 2444242, not -241. Of course, no 'made in USA'.

The date code is horizontal, not vertical. Looks like 10A, and yellow.

I'll take one when they become avail. Please let me know. Or post on here. Thanks

My 1972 was made in Canada, and Performance Car Graphics made a coil for me. If memory serves I sent them my original coil and they replicated it very nicely. I think it was the first one they done that had "made in Canada". It was for a 225, if that matters.

Mine only had/has Made in Canada in the green lettering...not embossed. I still have the original here somewhere.

I can post pics if needed, I must have some digital before and after pics somewhere.

Hi everyone,

There has been a lot of good feedback generated on the coils. I think we are finding that there are several differences showing up even within the 69-71 range. We are seeing differences in 1970 and 1971 coils even though they have the same information. Additionally we have the Canadian made coils entering the mix.

The later vehicles 72-74 have completely different graphics. Having owned( 20 years) and restored a 74 Challenger myself I understand the challenges on the later years. '74's are almost a stand alone year with many parts and changes unique to a 74 (which wasn't even a full year production). It's like the small block vs big block on the other years.

We've got the artwork completed for the 70 model year. To do a transfer correctly requires quite a set up. Naturally we want the items to be as correct as possible.
How far should we take this?

Myself personally, Im not too concerned with date codes...more so just the overall "appearance" of a nicely lettered coil instead of a plain black canvas....

I have a 68 hemi rr. If you have something that would work, I would take one if it looks correct. I don't need a date code.

Hi Guys,

Here is an example of the green coil transfers - hot off the press. It was transferred onto a black background for easy viewing. They are very easy to apply, impervious to chemicals and an accurate match to the originals. The cost is $24 each. A perfect alternative for those who want a factory original look but without the hassle of hand stamping. Dates range from early 1969 to late 1971.

Original still mounted on 66 Coronet 500 with 361.

For what it's worth, this is on a 1972 318 Barracuda, built 07/1971.
