>> The problem with many electronic ignitions is that they are often fitted directly to the original coil instead of over coil and resistor. In general the resistance of the original coil is 1,5 Ohm as is the resistor. However many of the electronic ignition systems require at least 3 Ohm resistance so if fitted directly to the coil they can get fried.
