I hope you bought an AC DELCO module?..if not I would get one and while your there do the pick up coil(magnet)If its got a lot of miles on it.You might want to try a ignition switch or inspect it.Power comes from the switch right to the coil?...good luck..

Yes I have 2 new AC delco modules ( bought the other one when car woudn't start) i just replaced the pick up coil with ac delco one about 200 miles ago. I did a test on my MSD coil and it shows coil windings are shorting to ground. The coil is only a few weeks old, why would my car keep blowing them?.. Im scared to get another coil for it to blow....

where is the ignition switch? sorry
