Hot Coil It's 98 degrees, outside, I take my daily.
I can't keep my hand on the coil, it's that hot under the hood. I shoot it with my gun, it's 110 degrees F . Now I've no issues with performance, but isn't this quite hot? Tks |
Re: Hot Coil Totally normal.

Re: Hot Coil They run cooler as long as the engine is running. If a person shuts the car off and leaves the switch on with the points closed, they can get pretty hot. An electromagnet can make some heat when it's energized. Always take care to insure you switch is in the off position before leaving the car for any length of time.

Re: Hot Coil Kind of on topic but not, everyone should be aware that FS and Pertonics have a new better module, it is red in color instead of black. You have to run a different coil with it, your old coil will damage the new red module.

Re: Hot Coil I have had my 31 stop running in rural Nevada about 90 miles from nearest town. Coil was hot so I turned it over waited for it to cool and drove home. I always carry a spare coil and distributor now.

I can't explain why that is so, just is. |
Re: Hot Coil The epoxy filled coils cool better in my opinion, the oil filled are not completely filled and upside down, oil settles and exposes the inside coil windings that are not getting cooled by the oil. My repro Ford script coil got so hot I couldn't touch it. Switched to a "Flame-thower" epoxy filled, 6 volt coil and now runs cool. I got it from Summit Racing Co.
