i have 12 volts going to my coil and its my second coil thats smoked. after having my key on for about 2 minutes it starts smoking. does anyone have any idea on why the f k its doing this.

Are you running a factory coil?
It needs to be matched to the system. There are different internal resistances for point/electronic systems.
Also make sure there is no tach or other add on devices connected.
The only connection should be from the distr ICM and the coil.
pos side of a coil is hot 12v, neg side of the coil is trigger ie: points, ignition modual, etc... the coil grounds its self theru the spark plug...
running neg (white) to ground WILL smoke it..
