The module on the side of the distributor directly controls the coil. In your system (EEC-IV), the TFI module can fail and keep power to the coil constantly, burning it up.
the ignition control module has a short in it. trust me replace it then you wont have no issues anymore
That's what I said. There's a Schmidt Switch and a Darlington Amplifier in the module that runs a near 99% dwell on the coil anyway. It overheats the module and the coil. Ford didn't address this concern until the early 90's when they came out with a black TFI module that had an 8-bit microprocessor in it to keep coil saturation to less than 10 milliseconds. Just a little more than enough to saturate and fire the coil.
