Did I fry my coil? #313488 07/20/14 05:30 PM

When I remembered and checked it, the car would not start and the coil was hot. I left it overnight and got it started with a little difficulty the next morning. (The car is restored and normally starts right up.) It would not restart later in the day. The battery is new and is charged and it is getting fuel. Any thoughts? Thanks. Mike
