Look at the bottom of the distributor rotor.  If you see a little speck
about the size of a fly turd, the rotor may have a burn thru spot,
which sends the coil output down the distributor shaft, and
zaps the module as it goes by.
  Also try looking for a rainbow type apprearance on the coil, means
it's been overheated, and may have a thermal short..
