[6pack] I think my coil died

[Ashford Little]

Several years ago I installed a Lucas sports coil in place of a working but
dirty and old blue Bosch unit.  The Lucas unit lasted, maybe two weeks.  I
reinstalled the Bosch unit and have been thinking of other things for years,
but not the coil.

Then it stalled and all attempts to restart failed, although it sounded like
it wanted to catch.  I got towed home and a few hours later, it started right
up, but died once it got hot.  Does that sound like a bad coil?  I have an NOS
Lucas HP6 coil and was wondering if I can use that.  My car is 76 with ballast
resistor.  Can I use a 6 volt coil, or do I need a special 12 volt coil?
Thanks very much,  John Mitchell   76 TR6   72 Stag
