rELATED PROBLEM - COILS DON'T LAST VERY LONG - voltage is right, but long hiway runs seem to lead to coils overheating. Not fun to get stuck on the beltway at rush hour. 1970 F100 360 3sp farm & ranch special. Tired of replacing coils. Definitely coil - I've diagnosed for fuel and shorts.

i had the same problem minus the correct voltage. are you still running points or have you switched to pointless ignition?

Still use points - original distributor; new points 2 years ago, new coil 8 months ago, new condenser same time (from LMC)

What is the voltage on the + side of the coil?
