If you are running the wrong resistance coil, it can burn up your points from what I have been told. I am not sure what ohm resistance the loop coils are, but I would try and find a Bosch blue coil from a VW shop. Guzzilogy recommends them and allot of guys run them with no problems so It must be the correct resistance.

it sounded OK, but soon it started running terrible. Backfiring, sputtering,
wouldn't rev, etc. I checked the points and they looked bad. I had cleaned
them before installing. Lots of metal transfer, etc. So I cleaned them
again, put them back in and it ran better, but still not right. Question: I
am using some generic coil I had kicking around. I recall some coils had a
built-in resistor to limit voltage to the points. Could the wrong coil be
the
