[Mgs] Fuel tank problem--ideas?

[Charles & Peggy Robinson]

  I've had two coils fail.  One was on a '53 Ford but it was easy to see 
the problem.  The darned thing split open and arced like mad.  The other 
was on a '56 Olds.  The engine would start but stalled when the auto 
tranny was put into gear.  Found that when I noticed that there was a 
pool of oil under the coil on the intake manifold.  Those old AC coils 
used oil for a dialectric.
