Pogo 57 10 #1 Posted July 16, 2023 The coil on my 753 seems very hot after running with the hood off At idle amp gage is n the center At running speed it moves to the first line. Do I have a problem? Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You need the coil with the internal resistor - it is not an automotive coil. There are numerous articles here on the forum regarding this...........

Pogo 57 10 #3 Posted July 17, 2023 Thanks for the info. It looks to have been there for a long time. May have been changed sometime in the last 60 years Going to pull the trigger and putt a new one on. Good thing the wiring has been left intact after all these years.

squonk 43,357 #4 Posted July 17, 2023 You want a Napa IC14 or equivalent. Internally resisted coil. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
