I just got my pertronix flame thrower and found out that the application chart in the box recommends removing the ballast resistor.  Since I have a double ballast resistor I would avoid messing with it. 
Does any one have any recommendations of a good coil that can take the heat from sitting atop a 440 and if oil filled or epoxy filled is better?
thanks

The advantage to the epoxy filled, it'd mount on it's side with no problem and will take the heat better.

Thanks,
I have one here, but the instructions warn against using it with a ballast resistor.
I'll give it a try
