My brother has a 84 Chevy PU with a 350. Last year while changing out his intake (We installed my Performer so I could use his Performer RPM which was mismatched for his engine). We found the HEI dist was wasted, the weights and pins were worn through. We installed a AutoZone rebuilt unit. Since then every 4 months it burns up the ignition coil. What would cause this? Thanks in advance for any help. BTW the previous owner was a jerk, this poor truck has been hacked up in every way possible. Why he ever bought this POS, I have no idea. It used to have dual tanks, it's cut out. It has a th350, it used to have a 700R, it needs the low 1st with the 4WD. the list is endless.
ground strap under the coil. or, it could be the cheap module in the rebuilt dist. check for the ground strap, if it's there go buy a decent module at NAPA.
