Hi Karl,

Thanks on the reminder, I will check that tonight.

The investment in parts needs to be made regardless; I have no service
records for the van and it's not had a tuneup since I bought it back
last April.

If the gas milage goes back to normal the parts will be paying for
themselves anyway.

Yes, I know the distributor is not a tune-up part. But my current
distributor has the hall sensor connector held in place with a cable
tie, and the cost difference between a hall sensor replacement kit and
a complete new distributor is only $120 so for the price I figured I
might as well go with a complete new unit.
