[DeTomaso] Dura-spark key-on coil burn-up fix

[Asa Jay Laughton]

Well since nobody else replied, I will. :)

I've been running a Duraspark II system in the Mach I for nearly 20 
years, with a stock coil.  No problems really.  So my first question is, 
was this due to the coil being an MSD?  If so, why?   Seems to me I've 
left the key on for longer than five minutes before with no ill 
affects.  I know leaving the key on can overheat the coil, yes, but what 
was so sensitive in the MSD that cooked it?

And yes, I'd be interested in your fix. ;)
