Can anyone help: Just swapped out the original 318 to a 360. Everything works fine except the ignition. The coil continues to run hot and over a short period of time the system will shut down. I have replaced the ignition box (orange). The ballast resistor and the coil. This means that I have utilized the new wires that came with the new inginition box. Shop says to replace wiring harness. While I am not averse to that they have still not defined that as the problem. New coil was put in prior to new wires so is it possible that the old wires could have shorted the new coil already? Also I do not see the braided ground wire that usually goes from the engine to the firewall. Is that something that could affect the ignition. This is the lats bug in the car and I cannot solve the overheating of the ignition components????????????
