Ignition wires get warm

I did most of the things you guys suggested and found that the when I bolted my dash tight inside the body, the warm ignition wires went away. Maybe it was missing a ground.

I am using a Pertronix in my distributer. The red wire is supposed to hook to a positive source before it goes through the ballast resistor. So i spliced it into the blue wire (with tracer) before it goes to the ballast resistor.

Now when I turn on the key switch to test for hot wires and such, the wire I spliced into is getting hot. The longer i leave the key on the hotter it seems to get. It gets hot if connected tothe resiter or not.

I felt all my other wires and I do not feel anything else get warm or smell any wires. Everything is connected electrically and everything seems to work except one of the inside courtesy lights.

Any thoughts? I have not tried to start my car yet. I was hoping to resolve any wiring issues I could find before hand.
