Where can one purchase the hall sender? Is it the same for all WB years
(84-91) or does the part vary from year to year?

I had one go bad on my '84 a few months ago and I exchanged the distributor
with the one from my parts van. The symptoms I'm currently experiencing
might mean I have another flaky one on my '87.

I concur.  I have a 90 vanagon that had the same
problem, especially on long trip up to the mountains
(coincidence?).  replacing the Hall effect sender
cured it.
