If the pick up coil is bad, you may not want to just buy another one... it's a pain to take that distributor apart. Check all wires and grounds coming from solonoid on the driver's side behind the battery, it's the little black, round thingy. That happened to me, it was a ground. I really doubt it's the computer... the wires are so old on that car by now that's more than likely your culprit.

If you want to see if it is your distributor, take a screw driver (engine OFF!!!) and put a screw driver into the coil wire where it connects to the distributor cap. Put it a centimeter or less away from a part of the car or a steel bolt (Nowhere aluminum- somewhere grounded). Then bump it over... if it arcs- you got fire to the distributor and start there. It took me a couple of tries to get mine to arc.
Do Not Touch that coil wire when the engine is running or being cranked over if you didn't already know...!
