I used the original Mazda coil bodies for 500 hours of flying.  The only problem I ever had (Tracy did also) was that the wattage of the low ohm resistor in its base could apparently overhead and fail with long duration at high rpm.  The solution was simple, I simple put in a 25 watt (way over kill) resistor and never had another problem.
