I tried Mallory, Delco, Accel, Davis Unified and Pertronix modules with the same results. Also tried different heat sink compounds to remedy the problem. I finally tried a Pertronix racing module, part number D2070 that only draws 7.2 amps and it has been working fine for almost five years now.

When you have an HEI that eats modules, change the coil. A bad coil will kill them. Some shops won't install a new module without doing the coil also for this reason. A lesson I learned when I was younger from a much wiser old mechanic.
