Val,

How hot should a coil get.

Assume "cold" to "middle of the guage", shut down and grab the coil

mine was fairly warm, and I have been having some interesting problems that
could go either carb or (per Bob Lang) the ignition system

regrads,

If you haven't cleaned out the fuel pump screen and/or replaced the fuel
filter recently, you may want to start there.

It also may have to do (so I am told) with the increased amount of alcohol
(read gasohol) that is now in "gas". Try buying the best grade of
non-gasohol gas you can. Then there's the old trick of putting wood clothes
pins on the fuel line.

Then there's the possibility of it being the coil. Is it old/original? Does
it feel really hot after you've driven the car awhile?
