Mike, I recommend either getting a new hall sensor ($125) or a rebuilt distributor $259 plus a $77 core charge. If you are handy you can rebuild your own distributor and save some money with the hall sensor or just buy the rebuild distributor, pop it in and send me back the old one as a core. The rebuilt ones are done by Bosch and look like a new unit. They come with a new distributor cap and rotor installed. I have some available in my California warehouse so it either would be there quickly. Just let me know. Ken Wilford John 3:16 www.vanagain.com
