Worried about my coil

[Anonymous]

Just one quick question, I took my coil out when I rebuilt the engine. Its a pertronix flame thrower.

Today when I was putting my engine back together, I found it had fallen on the ground. Damn cats. Anyway, the housing doesnt have any cracks, so is it still usable. It probably fell 4 feet onto concrete.

If there was no cooling oil leakage, and the resistance checks out for primary (across the two small terminals) and secondary (centre terminal to coil case), you're good to go. Possums and rats knock my stuff off shelves.

I believe it was one of the epoxy filled coils instead of oil. I heard those were better, let me know if this changes your thoughts.
