  New coil installed. Any ideas on the problem.

  Quite vague request. Is it a "stock" 32 Ford as Henry built it? Is it a later flathead motor/distrubutor/coil? Has it been converted to 12V? What are the exact issues you are having?? Does it eventually start?? OR NO start at all after you replaced the coil? Who rebuilt the coil or where did the "new" coil come from?? LOTS of question need to be answered here. Pictures explain a lot too!!!! IF it is still 6V is it spinning slow at start up??? Also IF its running and quits after 15 mins it "could" be (not 100%) but could be your condenser, how old is that and or have you replaced that???

  That symptom of ignition going away after 10 to 15 minutes of running is classic of a bad coil. I have had "new" coils that failed after 10 minutes. When replaced with another coil, the problem went away.
