why do i keep going thru ignition control modules?
ignition is basically stock, with acception of 8mm wires...
autolite plugs, brass terminal cap & rotor.
for some reason my car has fried 3 of these, the first time it happened was shortly after i installed an accel coil, but thats gone.
any ideas

What brand are you getting? It's possible the coil took one out and you got some crappy ones afterwards. Maybe the distributor pickup?

that could be, the brand is KEM, i get them from my work...
the disbributor i replaced recently as well... i'd imagine the pick-up coil is in ok shape but i dont know for sure
