ok, I have had this same exact problem for the longest time and figured it out and finally am clear of it. Its a Grounding problem to the motor and distributor. The distributor is not grounding to the motor and causeing failures to the TFI and the Stator in the distributor. what you need to do is get a new distributor and TFI ( warranty them out if you can ) and where the distributor hold down bolt is wrap a heavy gauge wire to it and bolt it down and them ground it to the negative side of the battery. Make sure you ground it right to the battery. I will 99% gauranttee you problem will be gone. once you did it this way then you can go ahead and replace all the engine grounds and negative battery cable. once the engine dies its 100% that both the stator and TFI are cooked no matter what the parts store says. they fail almost instantly. save yourself the time, gte new parts right off the bat and ground it out at the distributor.. you'll see the difference. then goi ahead and fix the grounds correctly. The may look in good shape but acually are corroded out from the inside out. the can't handle the amp load. good luck!
