If it were the ballast it would not be intermittant like that. Once burnt out they are dead.
Are you sure that yo aren't boiling fuel out from the carb into the intake causing a flooding condition. Have you tried to start it holding the gas pedal to the floor to unload a flooded engine. 
Coils can also have thermal breakdowns.
Pulled the coil wire and just get the one spark when it won't start when the key is turned off.
I think this all started after I washed off some of the grime from sitting so long last night. Not under the hood though. Was working fine before that or so it seemed.
