I too, am using the Pertronix ignition module on both my Imperials. I have nothing but good things to say about it. Granted, it is not 100% original under the hood but the only way to tell is by removing the distributor cap. Otherwise there is nothing visibly different. Plus I now have the piece-of-mind knowing that the car starts first time every time.
For anyone having ignition problems, I can?t recommend it enough. (and it works with or without a ballast resistor)

I have been following this thread on and off.
I had a 1966 Newport that died one morning.
I went through all sort of trouble shooting and it ended up being a bad voltage regulator.
The good part of this story is that I replaced
everything in the ignition and the voltage regulator with modern stuff. I used the opportunity to install a Pertronix I electronic ignition.
The car ran flawlessly for another ten years without a tune up after this!

Well I certainly hope that fixes it for you.
Strange that the coil would be fried, a bad
condenser should not damage the coil. A good
coil will act like it's bad if the condenser is
not working but will work fine again once the
condenser is replaced.
Have a good evening
