Thanks for the confirmation Jeff, and splitting the topic.

Just in case someone viewing is not sure, the sticker runs up and down ,lengthwise on the coil. Up and over the coil bracket. I have seen many that mistakenly place the sticker sideways on the coil so that it doesn't go over the bracket .

This is a strong indication that this coil, which shares a bolt with the dip stick tube, is installed at the engine assembly plant.

+1 . I have always assume so because the coil with sticker applied was the most visual way to identify the engine for assemblyline workers..

As are pictures of the engines at the plants ;)
If you look at the picture and close ups of the room of 289s waiting to be shipped from the Cleveland Engine Plant we purchased in the thread
Late 65 Production Year - Cleveland Engine Assembly Plant Picture & Discussion
especially pic 65-1g You'll see some examples
There are some other engines that were shipped without the coils and with the ID sticker on the oil filter but as far as we know these were not built for assembly line use but instead replacement/over the counter engines. There is a picture of 20 or so of these in another thread sitting at H & M's shop in the mid 60's

The exceptions not withstanding (there are always exceptions), I'm glad you agree with me - ;)

Let me describe the path instead. If you can't still find it PM and we'll take care of it
Go to
The Assembly Line Section on the title page
Then click on
Sub-Assembly & Supply Plants
Top thread - a sticky is the thread
IMHO one of the coolest pictures we've been able to obtain for the site.
Remember that these are ours so if you see reprints or reposting on other sites let us know so we can get them pulled.
