1115263 ti coil question
 

Has anyone else seen these little holes by the threaded studs on a 263 coil? I know they reproduced these, but I never did take a good look at them. What were they for?

Hi. To catch lock washers I believe:

More accurately, the holes catch tabs on the small stamped steel guide plates that locate under the wire clips. The guide plates look to be cad plated.

^ nice, thanks.

Not all of the coils that had the holes used the metal pieces with the tabs that fit into the holes. I can't pin down when the change occurred, but the type used on late 60's cars didn't have the tab shown in this picture.

^ thanks again for following up, photos always help!
