Hello;
While I don't have an American self, maybe my experience can help you.

Here some tips, without any particular order (and assuming that you have reviewed that the module connections are correct and have a good ground connection):

1) if your module is external; Verify that it has a heat dissipator (an aluminum plate is enough in many cases). The module heats a lot (it is normal), so it requires having a good way to stay fresh.

2) Check your coil; That is not crossed. Try putting another coil to see what happens. Check its resistance, you may need to put a ballast (external resistance, no more than S/.15)

3) Eye: there are coils for electronic ignition and condenser platinum coils. While physically they are identical, they are not the same. The response time, current, load, resistance, etc. varies. High voltage coils (MSD Blaster, Pertronix Flame Thrower, Accel, etc.) require a 0.8Ohm ballast when used with standard modules. Most likely, you have to send it to do (convert a conventional resistance of 1.6OHM to 0.8OHM, cutting the wire of the resistance to the appropriate length - you take it with formulas of elementary physics).

4) Check that the distributor's collector is collecting the signals correctly. The collector works by magnetic induction, and is inside the distributor. Every time the axis rotates, it sends a signal that the inductor captures (ON/OFF) and sends to the module; That, in turn, sends the signal to the coil to generate the spark.

5) Check your spark plug wires and coil. It may be crossed or dry, and generating unnecessary resistance.

6) Check your distributor's lid and the rotor: they should not be cracked. The central coal of the lid must have an adequate size (but, it has been spent). Contacts must still have material; And the rotor contact must be whole and clean.

7) Check your alternator: Maintenance (relay change, coals, filming, etc.) and verify that it loads correctly. The alternator should not, under any reason, deliver more than 14V. Ideally, its load ranges between 12V and 14V (depending on whether you are using the lights, audio, fogs, etc).

I hope I could help you.

The best of the luck !!!

advice
but I have a question my coil is incorporated into the distribution and what I have read, is that the coil that is external that carries ballast and good my alternator is sending more than 15 volt that can be the fault but on other occasions it has burned it and the alternator was well
the part of good ground connection in the module as I do you can send me an example or diagram please please

Look a companion your safe distributor is high energy, what suggests the compa is the indicated but separately I suggest that with a voltimeter Midas how many volts arrive at the distributor must be those of the approxable battery. Red Cable opening Switch clean the earth or negative that goes from the battery to the engine, if this is fine then replace your coil can have a resistance out of range and it is affecting you to the module.
The collector is unclear that the module is damaged is easier than to stop working although not impossible this distributor endures you the 15 volts but do not leave it that way.

Another suggestion places under the module if it is inside the siliconated fatty distributor so that the heat is dissipated otherwise, your module will quickly ok.
