Doug,
You do have an "ignition box" on the 8352, it's buried in the base of the distributor. I'm not a fan of this old design as the electronics are exposed to high engine heat and vibration. A remote ignition box mounted outside the engine bay is more reliable, regardless of the brand. While its possible youve purchased a number of defective 8352s, I'd suspect something else is contributing to the problem. The 2.44 volt reading indicates the ignition module is working.
