Delco Remy #D512 or Chevrolet #1115238 (238 BR on it)

Not a 293?

Did they use different coils for Chevelles, Camaros, and Novas using the same engines? I have a 293 B-R that I assumed came on our 427 Chevelle, but can't be sure. Things got changed around under the hood a little in the old days. I ran a Delco-Remy CD ignition for a time until it went south. What coil you had really didn't matter as long as it worked. Any good coil advice out there?

Mr 70 - What source are you using to determine this. I've gone thru the assembly manual and can only find the 293 coil referenced . The manual does call out another coil # for a CI hood - Thanks

I was hoping there would be more feedback on this subject, as it has always puzzled me.
From what I see in cars like yours & mine,they always have the Delco-Remy 293 coil.
(either w/B-R or 12-V under them).
The Assembly Manuals for the Camaro & Chevelle call out the 293 coil as well.
I believe this to be Assembly line correct.

But all the individual Chevrolet parts books I have all call out for the Delco 1115238 BR coil.
The Delco Parts books,which recognize this as D512 claim it is the proper coil,but I personally have opened a few of these Delco NOS D512 cans and found various different numbered coils in them.
Everything from 1115238,242,267, & 293.
Here is what is typical of all the various years Chevrolet Parts books.This from P&A 30A.
