Could it be that the previous owner kept the TFI coil in the DSII conversion and ran it with 12v (which most people say works) to the + of the coil and then when oneminizut bought a new coil he bought a DSII coil and is running it w/o the ballast resistor and is giving the DSII coil 12v all the time and is overheating it?
1981 Ford F-100 with 302 carbed DuraSpark II my ballast resistor is wired into my ignition coil not on the tach side. So it is sitting next to the Coil that I have to replace cause I broke the plastic front off of it. and the connector was held onto a button on the ignition coil by that plastic front. Will get an ignition coil that has real threads and nut to secure the wires and the tach wire too. I was trying to slide a gator clip onto the bare part of the green connector to get my tach running. As without a tach can't really tune up this 302 engine. I put in a vacuum gauge, and now I need a tach too in order to put the engine in proper timing. I am moving to the timing via vacuum gauge due to the age of my truck.
