I have a Prestolyte points style dist and an Accell coil. Yes while out on the water I felt the coil and it was too hot too touch. There are 2 spots where wires are connected to the coil. One of the sets of wires is fine but the other side was very soft and hotter than hell.
Heres a pic

See the ed and tan wires what connect to the coil on the right side of the coil in the pic? Those are the wires.
Is the coil supposed to get this hot? Should I replace it? Are the wires too small or is there something else wrong with the IGN or elec system thats making all this get hot?
Thanks
