I bought a used dizzy from Scott ($50)and popped it in and two years later I'm still on the road. I got another one from another list member that I carry as a spare. Better than a tow truck in my opinion. Good luck, though. BTW-IIRC, a Hall sender is 175.00 and a new dizzy complete with sender is 225.00. Michael in San Antonio 91GL Weekender AT 2.1L 'Gringo'
