Why would a 1985 Chevy 305 keep burning out ignition modules?
You should check the pick-up coil, it can short out the modules. I have ran into this problem before and was a the end of my rope. I found a pamphlet at the auto parts store and read through it and came to the conclusion that the pick-up coil was shot, replaced it and never had to put another module in.
Probably lack of die electric grease under the mounting surface of the module. This special grease keeps the module cool & lack of it could cause the module to overheat & burn out.
Yes, you can do this, by why in the world would you want to? I agree it can be done, but you will need a resistor for the hot side of the coil. Contact one of the manufacturers of aftermarket ignitions such as Accel or Mallory and ask them for the part number of the correct resistor. It goes between the wire presently connected to the BAT terminal on the HEI and the + terminal on the new coil.
Why would the ignition coil module keep failing on a 1992 MAZDA 626?
I have had them fail due to heat. I used a certain dilectric grease on the underside to help dissipate the heat. If not heat, then possibly a poor ground.

Replacing a timing chain on a small block Chevy The dot on the cam will be at 6 o'clock the dot on the crank will be at 12 o'clock the dot will line up with the chain and sprocket installed correctly .When this is done the engine will auto maticly be at top dead center. If you are doing this chain and gears in the vehicle and don't have the oil pan removed,you will have to modify the timing cover;the groove on the bottom that fits the oil pan gasket needs to be trimed at the inside top of the lip diagnal about a 1/4 " both sides.This clearances the cover to slip past the pan,it still won't be easy,I use a beed of sillicone in the groove and glue the cover gasket to the cover with contact cement or trim adhesive,then i take two #1 Philips screw drivers,start the cover bottom groove on the pan,take the two Phillips put one through a bolt hole on each side of the cover and in the coresponding hole in the block push downd on the screw driver while pushing in on the timing cover until it slide over the pins, put all the bolts in tighten then install the crank seal.

You need more information. What kind of car,engine,year. All we can tell is that could be driving a elephant. The two "humps" you metion are older modeal heads from the 60's. They are indeed called camel humps. They can be found in 1.94 or 2.02 intake valve. If you have true camel hump heads, keep them! They are fctory performance heads and are worth a mint. There should be no accessory mounting holes in the heads, ie. holes for brackets such as alternator, etc....
