3 wires go to it i think,, 2 to the negative side from the dissy and tacho if you have one. The other wire goes to positve from the igntion switch. If you leave your ignition ON then you will fry your coil. probably getting hot as its always got power going to it maybe??

These only get hot if it's a `resistor' coil (1.5 ohm) and NOT running a resistor.. :wink:

Wiring a demo car one time i connected the wires the wrong way around and the coil got superhot real quick. Check your connections.
