Ok I did a search on this site and google.

I have installed three distributors and all three have failed within minutes.
I got them from NAPA.

What could be the problem? What part of the system could be frying the distributor?

95 gt convertible pure stock.
automatic.

Just a thought here but have you tried a new coil as well?

replaced all of the above.
Right now the problem is something if frying the halls sensor.

Doesnt the 95 have a separate ignition module near one of the fenders? As I recal it is the direct interface with the dizzy. If so, swap the module AND dizzy at the same time --- IF the pickups are really failing.

However: Im thinking its unlikely the pickup is failing that many times. Its a low voltage circuit that has almost no current; the pickup drives a transistor in the module which is an input, not output, so I cant see anything short of a catastrophic module failure causing the pickup to fail. In such a case I would expect almost immediate failure of the dizzy - seconds, not minutes.

I think it is more likely the module is bad, with the symptoms being when it is cold it works and when it heats up (sometimes fast!) it shuts off. This is possibly appearing to be a bad dizzy - but this is all just a guess from things I have seen in the past...

Good Luck!

took the car to a high end Mustang shop and found out the problem was the tfi module. I saw the other shop put one in but maybe it was either defective or the wrong one.

She's running again. I also found a good shop. Mak Performance in Miami Fl.

Thanks for you help.

Ok so I brought the car home and latter went out. Had to call a tow truck. Next mornin I pulled the distributor and put in an old one that I knew was good. Cars running again but I'm afraid to put it back on the road. What is killing my distributors?
