Are you running that off of the ballast resistor it shipped with ?

No ballast. It’s a ‘65 Pontiac. It has a resistance wire for running mode. Nothing special about that coil other than it’s advertised to work with a points system. I wouldn’t mount a ballast on the firewall anyway. Never came with one. That’s a Mopar deal.
As for the vintage part. Clearly it’s proved to more durable than the FAST coil. I was using it awhile last fall when I ordered the FAST coil. It’ll do until I find the right replacement. Needs to be the correct diameter to fit the coil bracket. Most after market coils are slightly bigger than the Delcos so they don’t fit. Back to the drawing board.
