The ei does have a larger dwell than the points, larger dwell more heat in the coil.

All comes back to more heat in the coil.

Mine is installed on the engine in the original location. I wonder if someone
has remoted the coil and it had failed.

I think this we though I'll hook up a 1/2 ohm ballast to the 3.3 ohm coil and see if it works.

The primary side resistance is 3 ohms, while the secondary side is in the 1000's of ohms.
