[TR] I think my coil died

[John Mitchell]

    I took the TR6 out for gas and it ran great until the engine got 
hot.  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
