Well, here is a curious question, why would running 12 VDC through a coil with points burn it up when you could use the same coil with MSD and run a hundred volts through it and not burn it up?



I dont know where you get a hundred volts... but with
a coil designed for 12 volts the wire size inside
is larger... a coil thats designed for lesser voltage
has thinner wire size... sure it can take it for a
while but they do burn out... I have done it myself
and it finally did burn out... I had burn out the
ballast on one of my cars so to get home I jumped
the ballast but forgot about it till the coil quit
