hi guys, i installed new flame thrower coil on newly rebuilt eng. and ran car for first time breaking in cam 20-30 min. car ran fine and quit. oil leaking out of new ign coil made wire greasy and fell off. why would a new coil leak ? aftermarket 45000 volts flame thrower. i had same issue a few years back on a 440 6 pk motor and never did figure it out. do i need the inline resistor on the negative side ? i had it in when this happened this weekend. thanks



Take it back...
The round type, traditional coils use oil for cooling and it should not leak... Yes, it is best to mount vertically if possible for equal distribution of the internal oil..

Just my $0.02..
