Dave, what was the original internal resistance of the VW coil, not what the label or spec sheet said but the real measured resistance? What is your alternator output voltage at over 1000 RPM and again, measured voltage? What was your ignition system current? If you read through this entire thread you will know how critical these values are.

Same questions for the current setup (Accel coil + Auto Zone resistor)? If they are duplicated as reported in your June 25 post and assuming a minimum 13.8V alternator output, there is trouble in your future, guaranteed.
