Hi, It seems that you have a problem with the primary circuit of the ignition. When the coil becomes very hot you likely have a shortcut somewhere between the minus connection of the coil and the breaker points. Also the capacitor may be faulty. A simple test: remove the wire connected to the minus of the coil , leave the + wire connected and put the key in the run position and wait for a few minutes. When the coil stays cold check for a short in the wiring to the breaker points and capacitor. If the coil still gets hot it will have an internal short. Then I would try another coil.
It is quite obvious that with poor ignition due to this coil issue the car will not start.
Good luck!
