Has anyone had issues with these coils? I just replaced it late in the season. It is the original Flamethrower. I went with the epoxy filled because the oil filled should be installed vertically otherwise the oil will seep out of them when installed horizontally.

I just took the car out for an unusually warm winter day here in Canada. The car runs great until the car gets hot. Once there it starts to stumble and no power. I went home and replaced it with my stock coil - problem solved. The first Flamethrower coil lasted about 6,000 miles and this current one lasted about 1,000 miles.



If I run the stock coil, when using Pertronix electronic ignition I believe you can bypass the resistor. Is this correct?



Thanks guys
