What coil is supposed to be used on a 1966 Deville? The one that is on there is Borg Warner Ignition Coil E31... I know that there are different ohms or something for coils, can you all tell me which one to buy for this car, thanks!!

Are you looking for something that is show quality 'correct',  something that kinda looks right, or something that just works?

The GM part number is 1115238, all models 1960-73. I don't have the cars any longer but I bought parts from NAPA with that number. For authenticity the part can be painted if necessary, semi gloss black. The mounting bracket is stamped "238" and should be silver cad.

  The E31 Borg-Warner coil is the one they call for.

Here is a shot of the correct coil. This is one I bought but never used for my 66 CdV. NOS, pre china (made in Mexico). If you want it $65.00 plus the shipping
