Mine wont make it on the road right now, hehe...
I bought a new coil and have yet to install it and see if it is the coil making it do this. Would Autolite spark plugs cause a coil to burn out? Current coil is within all resistance specs though.
If you have OE spark plug wires, I would use Bosch non-resistor spark plugs. They're getting harder to find, but they are available.
I've tried Platinum, but the non-resistor type work better.
