[TR] TR3 Coil

[terryrs@comcast.net]

Took a four hour drive yesterday, temperature in the 80's, and neared the house 
when the TR3A stumbled briefly, then died altogether.  Got under the hood and 
found no spark to the plugs.  Checked the voltage at the coil positive 
terminal, and had that, so guessed it was either the coil itself or the 
Pertrinox.  Wiring is solid core and connections are tight.  Dizzy cap is good. 
 Tried three different rotors.  Changed out the dizzy plate to points, still no 
spark.  

So, am in the market for a new coil.  This one is an aftermarket replacement 
coil.  Anybody heard anything about limited durability on these?  If looking 
for dependability, are the Flame Throwers better?

Thanks, everyone.
