    Sounds like something is stressing the coil… causing higher than normal voltage buildup.  What could do that ?? high resistance in the secondary circuit caused by…

    • way too big a spark plug gap
    • carbon core SP wire
    • real bad connection in the SP boot
    • real bad SP
    • maybe a resistance core SP
    • a combination of the above
    • I’m running out of ideas here… Help !
