This should help. Guessing it's Duraspark. It does stay hot electrically and will feel rather warm to touch also.

The resistor wire is the same with/without a "brain." There are two possibles for 1971/86's.

COLF-12250-A .. Resistor Wire-Ignition Coil (Motorcraft DY-37).

61.49" long / Color coded PINK / 1.30-1.40 ohms resistance / #20 gauge wire.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
D1AZ-12250-A .. Resistor Wire-Ignition Coil (Motorcraft DY-84A)

60" long / Color coded Red with Green stripes / 1.30-1.40 ohms resistance / #16 gauge wire.
