Re: Overheated coil

[65 <65Val@xxxxxxxxx>]

I think you have to run an elec. regulator with the elec. ignition setup. 
The old "points-style" regulator wont work properly. Do you have an charging 
gauge? What does it read? Is it charging all the time? You could temporarily 
disconnect the alternator, drive for a while, and see if the problem 
reoccurs. (Make sure you have a fully charged battery when you do this, or 
you may run out of juice before the test is over).

Just some thoughts...
