Default Is it possible to relocate Ignitor module?

I keep breaking igniter module being that I'm boosted i guess, my motor runs extra hot.. this is my second time replacing my Igniter module.. is it possible to run it externally by extending the wires..? since I'm thinking about doing a external coil, I might aswell run the igniter module externally as well.. let me know guys if its possible.

thank you.

I am not sure how you'd relocate the igniter unit. Instead, I'd focus on the cause of the igniters burning up so frequently. For example, is the inner cover missing inside the distributor? Are there any burned or damaged wires inside the distributor? Is the coil damaged?

It keeps sparks from flying around all over the inside of the distributor. Why would you run your car without this cover?
