He's already established that there is no ignition (see first post), so everything else can sit on the back burner until then. We're just trying to find out WHY there is no ignition right now.
While we're on it, if the distributor is the original I'd replace it anyway. This way you eliminate the
hall effect switch, as it's properly called, as a souce of lacking a PIP signal. Let's start throwing money at it!
No, seriously though, that's what I would do just because of the age of it, and my personal experience with Ford distributors and their hall effect switches melting for no reason.
