Title: Help with coil getting hot, motor wont fir Post by imracin68j on 06/13/09 at 10:02pm Took my boat out and it has a points ignition. Everything was running great then everything just shut down. The coil is blazing hot. Any ideas? |

Title: Re: Help with coil getting hot, motor wont fir Post by Andrew on 06/14/09 at 10:37am Use the Ford dura spark box and dist. Very easy to wire and can be found in any junk yard cheap. It came on everything from the mid 80's to '95. It could also just be a bad coil. |

Title: Re: Help with coil getting hot, motor wont fir Post by imracin68j on 06/14/09 at 10:59am You're right, it was just a bad coil. |

Title: Re: Help with coil getting hot, motor wont fir Post by jay99j on 06/14/09 at 11:05am i had a old ford truck that coil would go out every few weeks and when it did it would sometimes burn up the pionts after several coils and sets of pionts i figured out the problem the ballast restor wasnt working properly replaced the ballist resitor never had a pionts or coil problem agian but reccomend the after market ignitor set up had to put one in a 73 pantera with a 351 it worked great |

Title: Re: Help with coil getting hot, motor wont fir Post by Andrew on 06/14/09 at 11:43am That's why I like the Dura Spark system. It's really a maintenance free system. |

Title: Re: Help with coil getting hot, motor wont fir Post by ignitor on 06/14/09 at 8:59pm get a points eliminator kit. converts a points style ign to electronic. put one on my falcon and it runs sweet. fits inside the stock distributor, and i never have to mess with points again |

Title: Re: Help with coil getting hot, motor wont fir Post by imracin68j on 06/14/09 at 9:33pm this is the kit? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ACCEL-POINTS-ELIMINATOR-KIT-57-74-FORD-V8-2020_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trkparmsZ65Q3a12Q7c66Q3a2Q7c39Q3a1Q7c72Q3a1546Q7c240Q3a1318Q7c301Q3a1Q7c293Q3a1Q7c294Q3a50QQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em14QQhashZitem48364c120fQQitemZ310148600335QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories#ht_1190wt_976 The motor is a ford 351. Are the points distributers all universal for ford? An HEI won't fit on this motor as the rotor won't fit by a longshot. It will hit the intake and a few other things. Would I just run the two wires into this unit. I will asume I bypass the resister. |

Title: Re: Help with coil getting hot, motor wont fir Post by jay99j on 06/14/09 at 10:02pm that will do the job stay away from the dura spark sysre you gotta run a seprate box and coil and i have had to replace several boxes as like the sytem i replaced in the pantera so go this way youlll be happy no restor as long as your coil is a non resistor type |

Title: Re: Help with coil getting hot, motor wont fir Post by hogracer3d on 06/14/09 at 10:12pm DUI makes ford and chrysler distributors with all GM HEI parts. Just drop it in and hook up the hot wire |
|
Title: Re: Help with coil getting hot, motor wont fir Post by imracin68j on 06/15/09 at 12:10am do I still need a coil? Or does this unit toss everything else out? I just pull the electronics out of the points and put this in and fire it. black wire orange wire direct in? |
|
Title: Re: Help with coil getting hot, motor wont fir Post by hogracer3d on 06/15/09 at 12:39am It is exactly like a GM HEI, just fits a FORD. Right down to the cap, coil, rotor plug and play http://www.performancedistributors.com/forddui.htm |

Title: Re: Help with coil getting hot, motor wont fir Post by miniguru27 on 06/15/09 at 9:21pm Hey Billy go to napa and have them order a ignitor ignition for it .you dont change the dist but you get the electronic ignition.just have to remove the points breaker plate and set electronic like the pionts and no dist problems. |
