I own a shop, and what I think is this; Check the voltage to the distributor to see if you are getting less than 12 volts. Also; a short in the wires, maybe insulation off and rubbing the metal. Anytime something burns out, it is 99% of the time caused by a short. Check the grounding strap from the engine to the body, and from the battery to the body/frame. A bad ground at either one of these places will cause all kinds of problems. The other answers that advise a libral amount of silicone lube (heat sink) to the underside of module is true.
Glad to help out, Good Luck!!!

If you are talking about the electronic spark control,make sure you put the dielectric jell evenly on the bottom of the module before installation.Check for bare wires that would short to ground and insulate with electrcal tape or non conductive heat shrink tubing.Have a blessed day.

It depends, is it the module or a sensor? If it's just the electronic sensor that is causing it you can safely ignore it. Are you having engine or starting problems, lights that don't work etc,? If not just ignore it.
A new module itself costs about $200.00 including labor, if it's a sensor the module won't fix the problem and some sensors are very expensive to replace because of the labor involved.

If the module is failing that often, then either the module is faulty or you have a wire "grounding out" somewhere. A faulty sensor can also sometimes cause this.
I'd be looking first for wires that are rubbing against the frame.

get a bigger module,theres to much going thru the ones your are using,example if its a 15 amp module get a 20 amp

Sounds like maybe a short!
May I suggest that leave this trouble behind and come over to the Dark Side.
There a reason the F150 is always a top seller!
Hope you find the cause!

the 84's are easily converted over to carberated. You can eliminate all the electronic stuff. End of problem!

install a 12volt ballast resistor in line before the module....make sure your using enough di electric grease when installing the module.....good luck!

6AL...never looked back. no more ignition module to bother with, it just uses the pick up.
