    1964 Ford Fairlane... Died and Won't start.
    Quick history. Rebuilt the car in High School. Ran for about two years. Had brittle wire problems so put the car down for about 5 years. Just rewired the whole car, rebuilt the carburetor, and replaced the ignition switch. I licensed and registered the car and drove it from my parents house to mine.

    When I drove it to work the next day it died on me. Sometimes it starts, sometimes it doesn't. I'm getting fuel and air. I pulled the coil wire off the distributor and held it up to some metal to see if it sparked. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. So I replaced the ignition coil and the coil wire, but still have the same problem. Oh, yeah, the coil gets really hot. Is it supposed to get real hot? How do I tell if my ballast resistor is bad? I don't know what my problem is.
