<p>Hi Bob, are you using the correct ohm coil? My notes say that
with points and resistor a 1.5 ohm coil should be used.</p>
<p>I use a Pertronix Flame Thrower. $40 or so from Jegs or others.</p>
<p>Also with points, make sure the condenser is good. A faulty
condenser will cause your symptoms too. Ask me how I know this!</p>
<p>Cheers, Bill<br>

<div>So this weekend I believe my 2 year old coil crapped out,
last run at Saturdays autocross there was sputtering and
backfire. At home barely could get the car off the trailer
and into the garage. Similar symptoms from couple years ago
and found 20 year old E-Coil decided to retire. So my
question is - what is the popular coil in use by my brethren
?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Currently an Epoxy Pertronix black coil, with Ballast
Resistor, in a Spitfire with a 1500 engine 11 to 1 comp and a
Mallory Dual Point Distributor.</div>
