What  appears to be the case is that the part installed at the factory (U.S.
or  Canada) used one number for the coil AND bracket. Service replacement
coils  used a different part numbers because the bracket was NOT included.
The  assembly manuals and parts books clearly show different part numbers  for
each application. Comparing the coils we have found so far (U.S. and  Canada)
to the assembly manuals and parts books (U.S. and Canada) seem to  bear this
out.
Hi Kent,
You could be right, but my experience and research says otherwise. All the  
coils that I have removed from stock Corvairs have had the numbers shown in the 
 assembly manual stamped right on the coil itself. For example, the coil I  
removed from my 65 Corsa was stamped 200 and that is what the asm. manual 
called  for. So that would not have included the bracket.
 
Below is a summary table of my findings. Please let me know if you find out  
anything different.
