That applies to me ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) Took my Morris Minor to my nieces graduation at Durham (360 miles) on the hottest day of the year so far. I was stuck in traffic on the Doncaster bypass when there was an explosion from under the bonnet and he stopped. Fortunately I could run backwards onto the hard shoulder and when I opened the bonnet the coil had exploded and the oilly windings were sitting on the distributor, fortunately I had a spare coil in the boot and I was soon on my way again. On the Morris the coil is in a silly place, sitting on the alternator which is bolted to the engine. The plan now is to move the coil away from the engine to the inner wing.

Sounds like it already moved itself!

When the original coil on my MM died, I replaced it with a series of new "Lucas" coils. Each failed after a couple of hundred miles. When I moved the coil to the bulkhead everything was good.

That's good to know. I fitted an electric screen wash on the side with the wiper motor so I had a gap on the inner wing by the distributor and have now fitted a coil there, with spacers to let the air circulate around it.
