if its a points and condenser system that could cause the coil to melt down by a faulty condensor otherwise the coil was either old or a bad vibration caused it to short out and melt down they sometimes fail slowly other times they just go and that's it i never look for a why i just buy another one not a bad idea to keep one at home as a spare or on long road trips
could be distributor, coil or ignition module. usually the ignition modules fail first on them.
Just a suggestion. I would look into the condencer on the coil you will see it hanging on the right side if the coil.
No. The coil provides the spark and the module tells the coil when to spark.

The ignition coil is located just to the right of your car's engine. An easy way to locate it is to follow the wires from your spark plugs. The other end of the cable is connected to the ignition coil.

Yes it would
An ignition coil can blow due to several factors, including overheating, excessive voltage spikes, or internal short circuits. Overheating may result from prolonged use or inadequate cooling, while voltage spikes can occur from faulty wiring or a malfunctioning ignition system. Additionally, age and wear can lead to insulation breakdown within the coil, causing it to fail. Regular maintenance can help prevent these issues and extend the life of the ignition coil.
either the coil is cactus or the ignition module. i'd start there. fords have problems cos the coils overheat due to lack of cold air flow and they crack. this usually causes the ignition module to fail. if you change one, you change the other. also bad earths cause ignition modules to fail.
An ignition coil can fail due to several factors, including overheating, which can result from prolonged use or inadequate cooling. Electrical issues, such as short circuits or voltage spikes, can also damage the coil. Additionally, corrosion or wear in the coil's internal components can lead to a breakdown in performance. Regular wear and tear over time, especially in older vehicles, can further contribute to coil failure.
Bad ignition coil
the ignition control module could be the problem

yes this does this to stop u from doing damage to the engine
most of this problem is ignition coil fail, you can test it by exchange with other one.
A bad ignition coil normally won't allow your engine to start given there is no spark. If it is starting to go bad, it causes misfiring which can be noticed as a stutter, or random shake of the engine. Check the ground of the coil before replacing it.
