Replace the Ignition Control Module (ICM). Coat back of new ignitor and male connectors with silicone grease. Silicone grease increases heat transfer to heat sink. Failure to apply silicone grease will cause the ignitor to quickly fail. Mount ignitor to heat sink and reinstall ignitor, ignitor terminal wires, leak cover, rotor, and distributor cap. Ensure female ignitor terminals are clean and fit snugly--crimp with pliers, if necessary.

Here's what it looks like and costs:
