My 202 red motor is shorting out at the at every place from the fuse panel through the coil and into the distributor. i have recently bought a new coil for it and its the right one too.

You will have to isolate the short, start with disconnecting the coil (-) wire, if the short is gone it will be in the distributor, start here and let me know what you find.
