Who made this coil Bill?
I know there was a Made In Canada coil, but for the life of me I can't remember if it was Essex or Prestolite that had a Canadian assy plant

Interesting coil info found on fabo archive
"What is the diffrence in the 2 prong ballast resistor? I see some have .25ohm .75ohm or 1.45ohm is one better than the other? I no nothing about ohms. I have a 67 barracuda electronic ign, burned out what looks like may be the original ballast tonight just wondering what to replace it with.
The ballast should match the coil. So the waters are muddy. Here's the info right straight out of the 67 shop manual, with the coils and resistors ORIGINALLY used, so these are for "points" values
My 74 book, which is paper, is similar
Chrysler / Prestolite 2444242 coil, 1.6--1.79 ohms, 9400 to 1170 (must be 11700) secondary Chrysler / Essex 2444211 1.41 to 1.55 primary, 8000 to 10200 secondary
Ballast (this is the dual one)
.5--.6 ohms (coil side)
4.75 to 5.75 for other side (feeds the ECU)"
Is it safe to decuct that if a car came with prestolite dist then a prestolite coil would be fitted? It's published in Herd's resto guide the above is correct, yet I know that book is full of errors.

The original coil from my Canadian built 1972 "A" body looked just like the 1970-71, etc coils...except it said "Made in Canada". When Performance Car Graphics made the new coil, they had never seen one marked like that before. This was around 2002..
I know, I know, pictures.... I took the pics on a camera that burned to little CDs and my current machine won't read them. I need to transfer from an older computer...then I'll put up a pic.

Okay, but what was the part number...it changed for the 1972 line...
FWIW; The Chrysler '72 parts book shows the coil as part# 2495531 (same as earlier years). The '72 FSM shows the same coil numbers as posted above by srt.

Speaking of coils, has anyone seen a 4 digit date? Is this 23rd week of 1970? Coil is NOS.
Thanks
