73 Duster Electrical Issue

Thank you for your reply. I am sorry about posting twice. I didn't know where to best post was ad didn't see the eletrical forum until after I posted the other . . .
the car is an automatic. I have plugged in the neutral safety switch in to the transmission. On the distributor it is basically an aftermarket MSD distributor with their version of a super coil. I have talked to people and some say use both and some say no. I dd try it with the ECU unplugged and the ballast resistor jumped. When I hit the key the left side plug started to melt. I may have jumped the wires wrong. Can't figure this one out
