so now if anyone has any suggestions then I will be all ears.

Yeh I do. How about answering the questions I asked you, please?. I don't type this stuff out to hear my keyboard rattle.

3...........Ballast resistor?

4...........Have you done anything towards voltage measurements on the coil and resistor, and system running voltage at the battery? Any trouble with the battery boiling over?

5..........Have you checked for coil heating, IE run it awhile and felt the coil?

6...........Do you or anyone routinely leave the key in the "run" position with the engine "not" running?

.

Quite frankly, if you are returning to the same parts store time after time, buying the same type coil, I'd try "somewhere else," and maybe invest a little more money in a higher quality coil. That might not be the trouble, but with so much trouble, it would be worth a try.
