Not sure what you have going on with the wiring to the coil, but just trying to make sure that you know that hot battery power from key switch ignition post goes to + post on coil and the - negative post on coil should be wired to distributor post to points, that is if its negative ground. Coil should not get that hot, its probably toast, may work for a bit but the coil will probably start breaking down and losing spark. It could be shorting directly to ground as well. Assuming its 12 volt, do you have a 12 volt coil in it? 6 volt coils will sometimes get hot if they have 12 volts put to them without a ballast resistor. If your starter is cranking by itself, I would guess that if you somehow managed to get a wire to the coil melted, that you have a hot wire that has the insulation melted off it and is probably melted to the wiring to the starter solenoid wiring. The battery terminal is sparking because of the load imposed on it by the load from the starter and or if you have a short to ground which I'm guessing you do if you have melted wires, even if only on the coil.
