[T2] Pertronix ?

[c.dreike]

I also hear of high failure rates on the sensors. Maybe the design does 
not include a transient voltage suppressor. Its like a diode but 
designed to clamp the supply voltage at a safe level. Automotive 
electrical systems are known to have transient high voltage spikes that 
could be damaging to an unprotected solid state device.

Link to a data sheet:

A P6KE16CA or a P6KE18CA would likely do the trick.
