does anyone else's coil get very hot after not much time running? is this normal or do we have something hooked up incorrectly. The car starts and idles and drives. 1974 1.8 with stock l-jet.
also, is there any easy/cheap way to secure the rear window so it doesn't rattle and shake and make noise all the time? thanks in advance for any help |

If the temperature of the coil makes you nervous, take it off the engine and move it to the firewall. Heat is generated by the electricity passing thru the coil and the temp of the engine doesn't help it any either.
The only time I ever had a coil explode (and burn my VW bus to the ground) was when the ignition was on, points were closed and the engine was not running. Lesson learned............... |
