The Flame Thrower may be so hot that it could cause insulation breakdown in the older model ignition parts. It also may draw enough primary current to shorten ignition point life. A resister in series with the coil primary will tame it, if problems arise. Ideally, the coil and condenser values are matched. That said, I used to have a very hot 6 volt coil, and it gave no problems except it could throw a spark from the coil wire contact in the distributor cap to the plug wire contacts. It worked best with a resistor in the primary circuit. (1954 Ford Y block V8)
