*Potentially* Stupid Question

The ballast resistor gets extremely hot ( toaster hot ). What sealer is going to work there ?
The purpose of the part is to lower the constant ( run ) voltage to the coil so it doesn't over heat.
Simplest solution would be install coil that can operate on a constant 12+ volts without over heating and delete the resistor. It isn't nesessary to replace the entire ignition system.
