I'm assuming this is a Pertronix or similar
conversion.

If the black wire went to ground, that would
likely cause the module to fail.

There is a requirement of 3.0 ohms or higher resistance
across the terminals of the coil. If you don't
know what coil you have, you can check it or find
someone to check it for you, or replace it with a
new one that is of known value.

Running the wrong coil, like a 6 volt coil, or a
12 volt that requires a resistor will stress the
module and shorten it's life, and also overheat
the coil, especially if the ignition is left on
not running.

Those conversions are generally bulletproof, but
things can happen. Be sure everything is right
and try again. I've never had one fail without a
reason.
