<div class="PlainText">I ran a new SVDA Pertronix distributor with Flamethrower I yesterday
<br>
with the FT III coil. The coil got ridiculously hot then the car just <br>
stopped running after about 10 minutes of running. The coil reached <br>
+250 F degrees. The rest of the engine was at normal temps. I replaced <br>
the coil with the Bosch Blue coil but haven't been able to re-start it.<br>
<br>
I measured the Bosch Blue coil resitance between the + & - terminals and <br>
got 4.5. I measured the the resitance in my Pertronix Flamethorwer III <br>
coil and it was 1.4 ohms and the box it came in says .32 ohms.<br>
<br>
Have I damaged either the coil or the ignition module or both? Why did <br>
the coil get so hot? How does a change in resistance affect ignition <br>
system?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
