Car wouldn't start. Checked the coil and discovered the top plastic part had actually lifted out of the case. Never had that happen before. The ignition is 12V with Pertronix kit and matching coil. It has worked fine in the past. Coil is the oil filled Pertronix unit shown here:
https://www.amazon.com/PerTronix-400...a-568782789506 I suspect that the engine compartment heat caused the coil failure. Would installing an aluminum coil cover like the ones shown below dissipate enough heat to protect the coil from overheating? https://www.google.com/search?q=flat...client=gws-wiz Or would it be better to wrap the coil in aluminum foil and foam insulation material. The coil is mounted on an aluminum bracket attached to a water pump bolt so radiator fan blows air on it. Should I relocate the coil? Opinions welcome.
