Hi everyone,, Who knows about ignition coils ? I seem to be frying them! I put a PERTONIX IGNITOR electronic ignition with the recomended FLAME-THROWER coil in my 1946 1 ton v8 flathead,it ran for a short while-then stopped. I put the regular coil back on (MACS AUTO) and it ran fine for quite a while, maybe 35 miles . The truck was sitting in the garagre running - and seemed to shut it self off ! No spark,I checked everything I could think of. I'm thinking fried coil, I just don't know why. any thoughts ?
Thanks
