Reload this Page 1984 bronco ii ignition coil gets too hot please help

Ford Bronco Until the mid '90s, the Ford Bronco was famous for being a rough-and-tumble off-road vehicle that had been tackling trails and fording streams since the 1960s. It was also one of the first sport-utility vehicles: a versatile truck then described by Ford as being able to serve as a family sedan, sports roadster, snowplow or farm and civil defense vehicle.

here is info on the duraspark ignition system.
It looks like there is a 1.5 ohm resistor in there.

I just went back and checked, those diagrams are for a Duraspark II ignition system, I am not sure if that is what you have.
