I use an internally resisted 3.0 ohm Pertronix Flamethrower coil on my roadster. I have ran this car 12 volts positive ground for the past five years without one minutes trouble. This coil is epoxy filled and has NO oil to leak when mounted with the wire connections at the bottom as model A coils are mounted. This coil needs NO ballast. If you continue to have problems, the ballast MAY be connected to the wrong side of the coil.
