Ignition puzzle?

86 S-10 2.5L wont start, coil burning up when ignition is on, running or not, voltage at pink wire to coil is battery voltage, when replacing with a new coil, engine sputters for about a second and backfires, then does not try anymore and coil lets its smoke out. Tried replacing module, coil 7 times, hall effect, ecm, no success, removed dist. And found black wire from module + pin going to the small ceramic box mounted under it broken. Tried to solder it back and no change.? I reckon perhaps the pickup coil is faulty or perhaps the ceramic box with the broken wire is a ballast resistor and soldering was unsuccessful. What do you think?
