Hey Gang...Need some help...! The coil wire on my '76 280Z is melting at the distributor. All 4 fuseable links are o.k....? Thought I would ask before I dig into her. She was running great prior to this problem...Thanks....Chris...

I have a question . Is or Was the coil wire connection clean or was it corroded ? A bad connection can cause heat . Another thing, look inside the cap . See if there are any ''dusty'' deposits around the sides between the 6 contacts and have a look at the rotor for excess pitting. Are you running a stock coil ? Too hot of coil can cause this . Just a couple of thoughts . Gary
