[6pack] [TR] I think my coil died

[William Pugh]

Those were the very same results, from the very same reasons ... hot engine
... replacing the coil fixed it just fine ... Can't say about the ballast
resistor, but I would imagine 12 volts would be correct ... they seem to be in
every thing since 12 volt batteries were put on the market.

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
