Quick question- my father-in-law replaced his coil/points/plugs last Fall when he couldn"t get spark in his 450. The old coil had a beat-to-H metal case, and he replaced it with a modern plastic/bakelite one.
Has run great since, until it suddenly died yesterday, after running too hot to touch. I have no idea, nor does he, if either his old or his new coil had a resistor in it, but sounds like it needs one.
He got another new one, and it started right up again, but also gets hot. Before I go take a look-see for myself, would/should his 450 have a separate ballast resistor?
