I left my ignition key on by mistake with motor not running and notice a hot smell around the engine, the coil was too hot to touch, I have the external resistance wire in the circuit, the engine still fires up but wondering about damage to the coil.

Other than testing the coil per the manual it would really hard to tell if damage occurred.
