Muzz,
I would check grounds. How is your coils grounded....start there and move out. Maybe something else will sound better but grounds will screw stuff up.
Good Luck

have done 3 distributors....all original all earths have been checked and are good. We believe it is not the distributor causing the issue- it frying is the result of the mystery problem.
