When cranking the starter supplies 12 volts to the wire at this point, post resistor wire.  The yellow wire runs from here to the coil and is therefore about 6 volts with the switch on and 10.5  while cranking.  I believe the second wire at the coil I was asking about is just a tach wire (the corsa has a tach, the coupe does not).  At least this is what I was told.

If this second wire is the tach wire it should not be on the + side of 
the coil. The tach wire should be on the same side as the points.

I do believe the coil is overheating and the fact that it is running one volt higher then my Corsa might have something to do with it.  Should the Coil be too hot to touch after 5 minutes of running?  I will try the resistance test when I get home in a few hours.
