Does my car have one and if so where is it located? It is a 69 TR6. I was adjusting the carbs this afternoon and the car had been running for a while at idle. It quit once and I suspected a fuel problem so I checked to make sure fuel was getting to the carbs. The coil must have cooled down while I was doing this because the car started.
In a few minutes the car quit again. I checked for spark from the coil and there was none. The coil was so hot that there was fluid coming out of the top.
The wiring diagram does not show a ballast resistor. The dist. Is a new rebuild from Jeff. The positive post on the coil is connected to 12v and the negative side to the points.
The coil is an Accel Super Stock from Universal Performance.
I read 4.7 ohms across the low voltage terminals. The car had a Petronix electronic ignition when I bought it but I changed it back to points.
Just a bad coil or other problems (I mean challanges)?
