Coil

Anyone comment on this ?
Reasonable facsimile ?
Thanks for the pictures from CJ Pony parts.

I have the original and the "clone" I will photograph tomorrow. I know the clone doesn't have the white stamping the original has.

Being a Mustang one sticker or stamped?

stamped. This coil came with a pile of parts when I bought the car. I think it is original. It still works too, but the previous owner didn't like it apparently.

Picture of repro that came with Tiger below with the stamped look. Also got one from CJ Pony Parts that has a decal. Mustang Ignition Coil Yellow Top With Autolite Decal 12V 1965-1973 (cjponyparts.com)

The different colors bug me as well as the reviews of failure.. Some suggested painting the top of the coil a mustard yellow, but like Guldens not Grey Pupon

Here are the two side by side. The original (I think) and the copy made by Drake industries.

Kind of a cheese-whiz orange

Do you think they'll get mad if I walk into the hardware store and squirt some cheese whiz on the can lids
