Re: Ignition Module recommendation

To keep replacing modules is probably not coincidence at this point. Bad grounding can kill a module. Do you know if the bent metal ground strap is inside the cap under the coil?

Ground straps to motor okay?

It's possible you have higher resistance for the ground when driven at temp. Did you verify voltage on a hot motor, hot day?

I just think... if you're a capable mechanic, and you used thermal paste, then 1 new burn out is a fluke, 2 is suspect that it's not the module. The difference in thermal paste isn't so great that the stuff provided shouldn't give you years of use. Best of luck getting it sorted.
