What caused my coil to explode?

My ignition coil is only 2 months old. Well I know my quadjet is crappy and I died in the intersection on a nice hot 90degree day. Got it started again and to my friends house. We got in the truck after about 10 min and I tried to start the engine. Sounded like a weak battery (starter speed slowing). Pop the hood, coil exploded, Pink Coil fluid EVERYWHERE and coil half out of its case and mangled (never seen the inside of a coil before).

What could of caused this?

I got a new coil, and now I have no spark?

When I got the truck the condensor in the distirbutor was bad. I replaced it and the truck started. FYI...

Weird.
