Eating coils...

We are enjoying our ride this year..a few small bugs but with other stresses around, we don't seem to have a lot of time to do the other things we wanted to do on the car but that is ok..

we had this problem recently.

All was great..actually, better with the new coil. The engine really liked the new coil.

Got a call from my son about 12 pm last night ..car was dead in the middle of the boonies.. Got there with my toolkit and no spark again..i am assuming it is a coil failure...will know later today (I hope). We cannot have more than a couple 100 miles on the new coil. Hadn't had a chance to relocate it off the back of the engine to the firewall yet.

Coil was VERY hot to touch. I should mention that this coil one doesn't have an internal resistor but was told by a very long time. old school mechanic that it really didn't need one.

The coil will be relocated but I need if there is another explanation for this.

Engine is a 360 with electronic ignition. About 3500 kms on it.

You help is always appreciated.
