The MSD coil I got is no special coil......Except for its pretty label and the fact it is filled with epoxy instead of oil. My car currently has a 2 post ballast resistor and on one of the sides is 2 wires into the main connector and the other side has 3 wires all going to some jerry rigged connector like I previously posted. I'm pretty sure my car was converted to electronic ignition so I have no idea how it is supposed to look. My 72 Duster I had previously had a 4 post ballast which I'm thinking I should have. All I know is my coil and ballast were extremely hot when I had no spark after running the car for a while without any issues. I've fixed a ton of stuff that was done incorrectly in this car so if the ballast is wired wrong or its the wrong one it would be no surprise.
