Default Re: Cause of hot ignition coil?

I'd also check the little carbon button in the center of the distributor cap that makes contact with the rotor. A friend burned out 3 coils, and finally found that the carbon button was cracked. This caused resistance in the secondary circuit, and caused the coils to overheat.
