Electronic distributor and very hot coil.

I bought Nostalgic Motor Cars new New Aftermarket high performance electronic distributor, 45,000 volt canister coil and a set of Silicone high performance spark plug wires. I bypassed the front resistance of the old coil (like written in new distributor document).
Everything works fine, but yesterday I drove without the metal shield and tried the coil by hand. It was so hot you couldn't hold your hand in it.
Is the coil supposed to be this hot? Should i worry?
