HI again, ok I need some input on this one as it does not make sense to me. On the distributor heating up issue has any one ever heard of a high voltage coil causing issues with the points? I had originally upgraded to a pertronix 2 ignition with a flamethrower 2 coil and the car just could not run right after, taking to Porsche mechanic he switched it back to points but left the flamethrower 2 coil in, the car ran well enough to test drive and take home, (I had trailered it to the shop so did not drive very far to test) after driving it just a few miles the points failed by melting. This happened twice. I decided to switch the coil back to a stock Bosch unit and oddly enough it now seems to run fine. is this just a coincidence and I have not really fixed the issue? first pic shows points after total failure, second shows the wear after only 4-5 miles. after switching coils no noticable wear? huh.....
