96 cannot fire

Hi everyone
I am experiencing a problem with 96V4 There is no spark when cranking the engine. And the ignition coil is very hot. It seams the distributor line up was placed incorrectly as the large part of the ignition rotor was used instead of the correct narrow end to line up with the line on the dist. I have discovered this and will correct the problem, yet before I get my hands back on that car...Should that cause a no spark condition? Why is the coil so hot? the polarity is hooked up correctly..negative going to the distributot..The low primary circuit is hooked up correctly. I also performed the test with ignition on...and points opened. I did receive any spark. The condenser worked fine before this. Lastly can any coil work on this car? 900/99 etc?
Thank you for any help
