A: It's easy enough to check the voltage at the coil, but here's another 
scenario for you: Did you do anything with the points and condenser? When I 
switched the coil in my '73 J4000, it ran like a rocket for about 2 weeks 
then ran like crap again. I replaced the points and condenser, and it's been 
fine ever since (as fine as any motor can be with a weak brake booster and 
carb that clogs up when I shake up the crud in the bottom cruising my 
cabin's 4 mile long bumpy gravel "driveway")

Keith,
Coils with ballasts on a 12 volt system are usually meant to run
on 6-8 volts continually.
When you start the car, you get a full 12 volts supplied to a
6-8 volt coil and you get a hot spark.
When the key moves away from the crank position, the 12 volts go
to the ballast and the correct voltage is
supplied for normal running.
I'm guessing that you have operated your coil continuously for 2
weeks on 12 volts and it is burning up.
Check the coil, if its bad, go back and make sure the ballast
wiring is correct.
Don

Greetings AMC Listers...
I have an Offering for anyone with Courage and Room...and can Weld.
1962 Rambler 400 Convertible.
Town coming down on me, I'm unable to fight them (*Post Surgery by two 
weeks, next surgery Monday Next*)...
So, anyone interested in Saving this, Give me a CALL 802 310 9639 Cell so we 
can discuss 'adoption' terms.  I need to recover some of the gold I've got 
into it, but $200 for the car should induce someone to lust for a Breadbox 
Convertible.
Rust in Front Chassis Rails, Floors need help.  Original Black Paint.  New 
Top NOT installed but goes.  New Grille.  Some additional parts as well.
DOES NOT RUN, but does crank. (Not Seized).
Please, someone, Give this Baby a well deserved Home.
It is more than I can handle right now, and I'm unlikely to be 'fixed' (MY 
body) anytime soon, if ever, so.....

Thanks,
Jerijan

Mr. Baldwin,

Your convertible is a little far me, here in CA. I do
have plenty of courage when it comes to taking on
projects, but I'm only a hacker at welding and don't
have any room.  Good luck with your surgery.  I hope
the docs have a steady hand and sharp eye.  Since you
are in their neighborhood, maybe you could contact one
of the editors at Hemmings and put out the word about
your convertible being for sale.  You never know.

Again, best wishes.

Joe Fulton
Salinas, CA

Just saw this on the list and can't understand it. Gary Timmerman did
call me today and said he would send an e-mail later but haven't received
one. Is this a goof or what?

I'll be off-line at this address (farna AT att.net) for the rest of the week as I prepare to head home. Should have access again by the 18th. My military account (francis.swygert AT kdab.centaf.af.mil) will be down in a day or two as well. If anyone has anything they feel is urgent e-mail me at the military address ASAP! Otherwise, I'll let the list know when I'm home! Anyting sent to the att.net address will be accessible when I return, of course.
