the ballast resistor is designed to turn unwanted current into heat high temperatures are normal.
I was told that the ballast resister is a twisted wire within the distributor cap area.
Yes, but you will need to remove any ballast resistor or resistance wire going from the ignition switch to the + side of the coil and replace it with copper.
The bumpers for a 1972 Plymouth will fit a 1973 Plymouth duster with a little fabrication.
The Plymouth Volare didn't exist in 1972

Sure, if you have the equipment to haul it with.
340 V8 bhp is the power of the Plymouth duster manual 1972 engine and its maximum speed is 110 mph.

Test/replace the balast resistor. (the white bar that wires in line to the distributor), This is a common problem. When the ignition key is in the start position, it bypasses the ballast resistor. The ballast resistor is at the top of the firewall on the driver's side. It is a white ceramic ~0.5" x 3"L, with spade lugs. If you wiggle the spade lugs too much the wire underneath breaks. Its purpose is to limit the current thru the points during normal running. Points are an archaic technology that never worked well. I recommend replacing them with electronic ignition. I used a kit from Crane Cams on several cars that replaces the points with an optical wheel in your existing distributor. There are many others. No more "tune-ups". You can then bypass the ballast resistor. Others get a distributor and ignition box from a later Mopar (~1972?), but my kits were ~$80 and I have the points in the trunk for emergency use (never had a problem).
