Hey Michael, good job. Just remember that if you cooked this thing like you described to me, it's likely that the wires are now hard and brittle, destined to fail. Replace this as soon as you can. Until then, good luck. Most of us have taken bigger chances than this, though. BTW I will look through my parts bin in the next couple of days for a good used distributor and hall sender. If I find one (and I'm betting I do,) I will ship it off to you right away. Oh and, your money is no good with me..... Guys, I met Michael a couple of weeks ago, on my way to Mexico, and I couldn't help but come away with the impression that he's the sort of guy I expect to find driving these things. He's a good guy and it felt good meeting him and spending time with him..... Thanks, Miguel
