MG MGB Technical - Pertronix trouble

I inadvertently left my ignition on, switch is so worn can remoe key in the on positon, this fried my pertronix and the coil. Actually melted the wiresbetween the two and the pertronix unit swelled and burst. Installed a new pertronix and coil. car ran about 20 minutes, then the coil got too hot too even touch and engine stopped. THen I installled a new voltage regulator and another coil, pertronix seemed fine, engine ran a couple of minutes and coil overheated, engine stopped and now will not evne fire. what am I missing here, am considering going back to a points ignition, another new coil and voltage regulator. what experience can you share on this problem. many thanks, Kenn
