There are no stupid questions. If a Q bothers me (which doesn't happen) then there's something bothering me & it's not the Q being posted in cyberspace. I'd say they were referring to the fact that a coil can overheat if there's not enough ballast & that's dependant somewhat on the RPM range as at higher RPM there's less saturation time between cycles & you can get by with less ballast for more spark to make up for the shorter saturation time. My next purchase in that area is going to be an E coil & run full 12V & an HEI dyna mod module that was given to me (I'd never purchase a chebby part) . An overheated coil would not make the eng run hot if that was the Q

have to do with over heating? I was reading up on over heating problems and this was a factor...
what were you reading?? i agree with RR above on all points, no such thing as a stupid question, and a coil by itself can over heat for stated reason but not cause an engine over-heat.

over heating only after sitting in traffic, steady climb to 200 + .. radiator is griffin hi- horse power, just put on there dual fan system ..still climbs, watching the water flow when the thermostat is opening is slow, pull the thermostat,flows like raging river.. pulleys are pretty close to 1+1 , hi-flow water pump...looking at the thermostat, it looks small, 1 inch opening..( doesn't look like could flow quickly) Car is 70 dodge challenger 440 cu.in.solid cam (nothing raticle )aluminum heads poss 425 hp...and yes I have checked the gauges, they are correct..
