How do you know the coil is "overheating"?

Points suck and can also overheat the coil.

Fix your Duraspark unit. It is very simple. Check the diagrams here:

Follow the instructions in your service manual TO THE LETTER to troubleshoot your truck.

With the truck running, measure the voltage at the coil + and write back in.
