I removed the oil filled coil this afternoon, and the ohms tested within spec cold. It’s rainy today; so, I didn’t take the car out to get it hot, and I didn’t want idle it a lot in the garage.

While I was under the hood, I swapped in my brand new oil filled coil to see how it will work. The car seemed to start okay cold (but the previous oil filled coil usually started okay cold too), and I plan to drive it a few days after the rain stops. If I’m going to have trouble with this coil, I’d like to have local car trouble, rather than out of town car trouble. If this coil gives problems, I can revert back to my original (to me) Ford script coil.

I plan to buy an epoxy filled coil next time.
