I am rewiring my 460 with an original wiring loom and it is wired differently now then it was before. I found the schematics online and I hooked it up following those and now this new wiring loom has a black wire that goes from the ignition switch to an external ballast resistor. On the other side of the resistor is a white wire that comes from the starter (connected to the R post). That wire splits at the resistor and goes to the + side of the coil. In the past there was just a wire from the ignition switch to the + side of the coil. So now I have it hooked up the way it was originally "supposed to be" and whenever I turn the key on the external ballast resistor starts to smoke and get hot enough to burn you. I know for a fact that the coil is not original. If it is an internally ballasted coil and I hook it up with the external ballast resistor then would that cause it to burn? Any other ideas as to why it might be burning? If I cant figure it out, Ill just go back to the old way and skip the external resistor. But I don"t want to burn up my coil and points, so I would like some advice first. Thanks!

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
