    If it's at all like my '83 240... Unplug the connector to the distributor. There should be 3 pins in it. Run a jumper wire or paperclip across the B and C terminals on the harness side of the connector. There should be a spark. If so, check for voltage on the A terminal. If there is voltage there, the hall sensor is probably bad. Good luck.
