Thank Richard.  The T16 is negative earth.  The LT from ignition switch is connected to the + and the - goes to the distributor to earth. Its actually burnt electrodes on the rotor arm, such as it makes any difference.  I am confident that this is why the coil is overheating and the engine stops.  Just to find out why.    I will get there, we always do don't we?
