Interesting.
I only know of one thing that will kill these quickly like that. Cranking the engine without spark plug wires or coil wire connected. So I suspect secondary but you tried all that with the exception of the coil. As others have mentioned it may be worth while to replace that. But you really want to avoid doing a shot gun replacement of parts with $500, last I checked if its even still available, part in place. So I would recommend doing the basic checks of resistance on the coil.
If you are assured that the car will run for at least an hour without destroying the ELZ, then bring it somewhere where the system can be checked on a scope. Good luck finding a person who has and can use an automotive scope these days. You may have to purchase a standard scope and buy automotive leads to read the secondary voltage. It might require a learning curve but you can try it out on another car.
