I dont really know, but it sounds like your coil is faulty.I heard somewhere that a lot of the old ford coils fail like this. If you put a volt meter on your resistor, I doubt it will change from cold to hot. I'd guess there is a short in the primary windings of your coil, and its drawing too much current, which is why the coil gets hot.
