I got mine from an auto parts store, ask for a "Ford ballast resistor" and most places will know what you mean. They"re 5-ohm, 50 watt ceramic resistors, and are made to mount right to that little "ear" on the coil strap. I had similar trouble with my M"s coil overheating, and after I installed the resistor, no more problems.
6-volt and 9-volt coils were in use in cars even up to the mid 80s- both our "82 Jeeps had them, and used dozens of feet of resistor wire instead of ballast resistors.
If you want to do away with the resistor issue altogether, look into converting to an "e-frame" coil such as out of a 90"s Ford or Jeep. They"re true 12v, smaller than a can-style coil, and give a hotter spark for better combustion. Takes away coolness points as it"s obviously not factory original, though.
Sorry, Nick, but 5 ohm ballast is out of the question for anything...can't possibly be what you mean.

I've already drilled the center of the bolt out with about 7/64" drill bit the entire length of the bolt. Only one end of the bolt is visible. I tried to use an easy out but it wasn't budging and I didn't want t
