Default Re: Ignition woes (Again) Burnt Coil?

As an aside, I have owned over 40 vintage collector cars...from the mid 60s to the 30s. All had point type distributors and coils. In addition, I'm an old guy. For many years my daily drivers had point type ignitions and coils. I currently own 3 vehicles with point type ignitions and coils.

I've never had a coil or condenser fail. Never. I know it's possible, but it seems that every Model A problem here is blamed on the coil or condenser (or, of course, crap gas ) .

I sure wish I had the coil and condenser concession here. I'm sure there are a whole bunch of coils and condensers that have been replaced prior to the owner doing actual trouble shooting and correcting the actual problem.
