80's Fork Lift Continental F163

Hello,  my early 80's ACC25B with a Continental F163 the solid state ignition box keeps going non functional (zapped).  There is Petronix distributor available to replace it all, but I'd like to keep it stock original is there an  ignition box  brand that is quality?  

I check all wiring all good nothing shorted.

Also what other options are there?

thanks,,,

Better view of pickup module,  looks like stock Prestolite??? 

I rewired my ignition per hot-spark.com  diagram where the power to the ignition box goes thru a ballast. It started right up ran smooth, there are more items to address on this lift before I use it.

I looked into the Petronix D41-05A  I found a post on ebay review that stated it is for a clockwise Continental F163 (4cyl) distributor, mine is counter clockwise his also, this purchaser stated he had to make an oil drive shaft and when accelerating it lost power found it the ignition was being turned back instead of advancing. So he installed the Petronix plate into the original distributor and has it working. I called Petronix help I could not get a definitive answer on rotation of their distributor.
