Reply to "Engine cutting out"

When I was doing my build, I remembered my old Mustang, and on that the coil was mounted on a inner wheel well, away from the heat of the engine, so that's what I did on my Speedster. The Magna-spark coil, a big brick of a thing, is mounted on the driver's rear inner wheel well partition where it is a lot cooler than if mounted on the fan shroud. Sure, I needed a longer coil to distributor cap wire to reach, but that was no biggie and everything has been working now for almost 20 years.

I with the other guys, though......Chuck that Pertronix and either try another one, or a different maker or go back to points.
