Mo, I must have missed that article from Don. That is exactly what happened in my case..replaced the points with a Pertronix system, and wham!, 30 year old coil runs for 50 minutes or so and fails.

I have a Pertronix epoxy filled currently, I even mounted it off the engine block, and it seems to work great.

Good luck Possum...I think we are on the right track & a coil is a reasonably priced item.
