ignition switch.

Does anyone know which terminal on the ignition switch goes to the coil. Pretty sure the switch is bad. There is no spark and the ballest resistor gets real hot. Please use the numbers below to let me know which terminal. I can not see the letters on the switch. The wires are real short. Thanks.

If the ballast gets hot, the switch is sending power to it.  Look for a ground in the small wire that goes from the coil to the distributor, or the points themselves may be grounded.
