Same distributor - different problem 200 1983

Thats a tough one if both the distributors have wiring problems. I think you mean the really small three wires in the distributor top are damaged?

I soldered on the rectangular plug which was pretty easy other than its done right down there next to the distributor. Its a tough call on trying to replace the hall sensor on top since it sounds tricky. If you can get a distributor that works with the rectangle plug I'd splice in the different connector. The round plug has that lead which is prone to have problems shorting out. At least with my chrysler it did. That eliminates that one possible break down in the future. Either way it sounds like you need a new/used distributor like me. I'm still contemplating the Snap remanned that I keep seeing on the web. But before I get desperate I've got to save on the $$. I'm also going to have a mechanic I know look for one through his sources. If I find a new bosch for a good deal I'll let you know.
