Default MSD and Ballast Resistor

Is there a reason that a ballast resistor is connected in an MSD system.

The system includes msd dist. 6al module and msd coil.

One of the AZ Cobra members encountered a problem ober the weekend. His fan quit. He found a hot lead coming of the ballast resistor and connected the fan to it. Car ran for about 40 seconds then quit. The ballast resistor was changed but still no fire. No power to coil at all. I have no idea why the resistor was left in the system.

Owner had the car chamged over to the msd system a couple of years ago.
