Ok here's the deal,I have a 1969 pontiac firebird with a 350 in it this car has a points distributor.From the ignition I have two wires one of the wires runs to the starter the other I have hooked to the positive side of the coil and it is a constant power when the ignition is switched on.There is also a ballist resistor I installed on this line to the coil.And last I have one wire from the distributor to the negative of the coil.The problem I'm having is the ballist resistor keeps turning red hot and smoking when the ignition is in the on position.Does anyone see any flaws in my wiring.I don't know what im doing wrong?
