Change the condenser in the distributor. it keeps the points from burning up too quickly.

Is the resistor wire under the dash?

I think the 69 didn't have the yellow wire from starter to distributor.
The ignition switch on column to the firewall has the yellow and black/pink connect at the inside firewall connector. So I would think the switch is 'bad' letting full voltage go the firewall at all times?
(if Kenth's suggestion checks out)

Could check the voltage of the black/pink wire under dash to see what the voltage is and/or see if the yellow wire has 12 volts in 'run' position. (it should not have 12 volts on 'run')
