Thats why I suggested the late model e-coil. The can-of-oil type coils are designed to start on 12VDC, then switch and run for hours on 9 VDC. When you leave the ignition on but not running, it feeds 12VDC continuously and the coils are not designed to take that energy. The Ford solid state transformer-looking coils WILL take 12VDC all day long.

That bit me years ago when I was doing something under the dash and decided to listen to the stereo while I worked. Turned the key to IGN instead of ACC and less than 10 minutes, the OEM coil went "POP" & began to leak insulating oil.
