I Run Points

But here goes anyway R\E electronic ignitions.

I don't think burned out coils are the problem. They are a symptom of a bigger problem.

To me burned out coils mean the electronic ignition is acting up. Why do some EIs work fine and others fry coils? (as others have noted)

Maybe some dwell readings would be helpful. Dwell with engine (and EI) at idle cold, and dwell with cold engine reved up. Then dwell with engine (and EI ) warmed up at idle and then dwell with a throughly warmed engine (and EI) reved up.

Just an idea. My $0.01 for the day.
