New guy with a TFI issue

First off, My name is Ryan and I have a '94 GT Drop top, and an '06 Silverado. I am 20 years old and in school to be a fireman.

On to my issue, My car is eating TFI modules like they are going out of style. Is there something thats taking them out? My buddy thinks we should just replace the distributer and be done with it. Anything that you guys can help with it would be nice. I just got the car 2 days ago

Thanks! this is my 3rd mustang. I had an '87 4 banger and an '85 GT T-top.

RIght now I have a TFI from an older style (where its on the distributer) taped to the side of that cooling block. I just did it so I could limp the car some and it worked

Thanks for the welcomes guys. I had bought a new one when I picked up the car. Its a black one and it bolted in just fine. I used a decent amount of die-electric grerase when i put it in. the car ran fine drove fine and everything. I drove it to work and on my way home I was crusing along at about 40mph and it just died. cranked like it wasnt getting spark. Luckily I was a block away from a buddys house and his dad had a gray one from a fox body laying in the garage. At this point I just wanted to get the car home so I said fugg it we might as well try it. plugged it into the car and had him hold it on the block and it fired right up. So I used some duct tape and stuck it on there to get the car home. That was fine I suppose but now I just want to fix it properly.

before I bought it, the kid had it replaced. It ran and drove fine, he decided to sell it and some kid drove it and after about a half an hour decided to park it again and for some reason open the radiator cap. The car would not start so he again replaced the tfi. drove it for about a half hour and parked it and it wouldnt start again. Thats where I came in and pput my part on it the right way and drove it away no problem.
