If things get bad again with your ignition, consider switching to a Standard brand UC-14 coil. This don't take resistors, so you can bypass the resistor you have. I installed one of these coils after I started having trouble keeping my 59A flathead running. So far, so good....good starting after with the engine hot. Larry / Seattle

David, many thanks for the help. I think I have my problem solved. I will be sending two coils to Skip for repair.

There should be a unit like this mounted on the inside of your firewall directly in front of your speedometer . It will be in plain sight and the silver thing on the left is the resistor . Like already mentioned if it is not there or not properly hooked up you will burn out coils regularly .

check to see if the ignition resister has been by-passed putting full voltage to the coil-this will cause the coil to get hot and eventually burn out-the resister is under the dash on the firewall.. send an original coil to Skip Haney is Fla and have him rebuild it-his coils work like a charm and the engine loves the hot spark.
