I went and picked up my car from Mike D's place today and we noticed that the Mallory CD box was pretty warm after running the car. It wasn't so hot that you couldn't put you hand on it, but it was warm.

Do they normally generate heat?

I had one on a '82 RX-7 and it got hotter than I thought it would. Remember it's taking 12 volts and turning into 20,000 or so. Put your hand on a transformer and let us know how hot it is. It's a similar function. Step up or step down voltage.
