a pick up coil is about 15-20 bucks. Please change it. it doesn't justify buying a new distributor. I wouldn't recommend converting to carb either. The 5.0 EFI is a very capable system. A stock mass airflow can compensate for a lot of things. In order to tune a you have to change the jets for the right mixture and not to mention the mileage. The only time I would change to carb is if you have throttle b**lsh*T injection. As for the distributor question. BEFORE YOU PULL IT OUT MARK EVERYTHING!!!!!!! it will make it a lot easier. Mark where the base of the distributor lines up with the engine block and remember which way the rotor is facing the #1 wire on the COMPRESSION stroke. That is the only way of setting initial spark timing.if you just have to keep playing with it
