try starting the car in extremely cold weather of say zero degrees or less.
I used an internally resisted coil on my '56 Patrician and it started every time, even when it was -10F. There was no "resistor wire" or the like, and I didn't use the stock Packard resistor. It started first time, everytime, no matter what the temperature was. I've never had a problem using an internally resisted coil in any cay I've ever put one on. I used to put them on my old Mopar's to get rid of the worthless ballast resistor that they used. They always started every time, all the time. Sounds like a GM problem to me, as I've never had any trouble with them, and I don't own and haven't owned and will not own GM products.
