I installed a MSD II Blaster coil this afternoon and my points got hot and the block that rubs the cam in the distributor melted. Do you need to install the ballast resistor supplied with the coil and use the old ballast resistor too? Seems like in the wiring diagram provided the wire that goes to the coil positive goes to the new ballast resistor, does that mean the wire coming from the original ballast resistor goes to the new resistor then out the other side of the new resistor to the MSD coil? Did I have too much voltage going to the distributor and the points got hot and melted the rubbing block? Or will the new resistor supply the correct voltage to the coil to keep it from burning up the points again?
