Re: All new parts and still burning ign modules.. what else to check

Set your meter on AC Volts and check the battery voltage with the engine running. A bad alternator diode will dump AC into the system and the module won't like that.

NO AC? set the meter on DC volts and check that you have no more than 14.5V DC and the voltage is steady when you throttle up.

Are the new parts cheap Chinese electronics or AC Delco Professional grade parts?
Chinese Ignition coils, Pickup coils, Reluctors, and Ignition modules are complete garbage. You'll continue to have failures till you put in decent components. Maybe not this extreme but they are not long life components.

Cheap Chinese ignition coils and pickup parts will kill Delco ignition modules pretty quick too... so don't just put in a Delco module and assume the problem will go away.
