I know I post this last year. But I have still not fixed this problem.

1. new wires
2. new spark plugs
3. new cap and rotor
4. New coil
5. new ignition module
6. replace dizzy with a good working GM 1

Just about everything needed. Yes I used the paste so the module would not heat up, and yes I cleaned all the old paste off before I put the new paste.

After all this new stuff, 2 min, later it blew the module again. GROUNDS ARE GOOD AND CLEAN ..

Will a MSD box with a external coil make this NIGHTMARE go away???
I am really lost what to do here.

The only other thing I can think of is the ignition box on the steering column. Could those go bad or create a short to blow out the modules??
