Default Resistor wire

Wondering if anyone has had the same problem as me…

Burned a set of points in only a few hundred miles. Second time it has happened. I tested the voltage to the coil + and I was getting full voltage (instead of the typical 7ish) while running. I even bypassed the ignition switch and same result.

All the wiring including the resistor wire looks nice and unmolested. Can a resistor wire go bad in a way that leaves it allowing full voltage?
