<VV> Wiring

[Richard]

When the ignition switch is on, the hot wire going from the junction box on the firewall to the solenoid plug gets hot. (65 Monza). I disconnected the plug at the firewall and inserted a separate hot wire to the wire in question and it still gets hot. I disconnected the positive wire to the coil and it doesnt get hot. I left the positive wire on the coil and disconnected the negative wire on the coil and it doesnt get hot. (New coil). I disconnected the plug to the solenoid and it gets hot. Anybody  know what's wrong?
