Does the new square coil for the hei need to be grounded? This is a Langdon unit that I've had for a couple of years and am just getting around to changing it.

Langdon also sells the Pertronix conversion. If you have the Pertronix, grounding the coil shouldn't be a consideration.

I don't own a vehicle that isn't old enough to drink.
