If not mistaken there are 2 fusible links by the starter on the coil ignition harness. One is brown 14 ga and the other I believe is orange 18 or 20 ga.
There is also a resistance wire going to the coil - which provides 7-8 volts AFTER cranking, the wire on a closed loop - points touching - could over heat and melt. This is the reason you see ballast resistors on the firewalls of so many cars - the resistance wire overheated melted and the work around is - ceramic ballast resistor.
