Are the points burning out frequently? That's the classic sign of a shorted primary winding, along with a coil that's too hot to touch after a few minutes of running time. Imagine a table with four things sitting there- - - -Santa Claus, the Easter bunny, an honest politician, and a coil that will increase performance. You'll have to imagine that scenario, because they're all mythical creatures! There's a brand new Delco Remy 6 volt ignition coil on Ebay right now for $18.00- - - -buy it!
Clean, properly gapped spark plugs fire at approximately 10K volts. Once the spark is bridging the gap, it's IMPOSSIBLE for the voltage to rise any higher, so coils that can reach super-high open circuit voltages are as worthless as a screen door in a submarine, no matter how convincing the argument from someone who is going to solve all my ignition problems by selling me something might be with his sales pitch!
Rant mode off- - - -back to our regularly scheduled BS session!
