Hi Don-
I don't have the problem now- Rob Swift does. As you post his coil might be the
culprit- had that problem several times over the years- bad coil=coil gets
hot- 'disconnects' if lucky- when cools - connects for 'awhile' -sometime is
'dead'- Good suggesstion for Rob at this time.
I also put a Lucas Sport coil on the TRwhen I redid the cyl head. Made a big
difference on my E-Type V-12 too! Thanks for the input !
