Didn't pull and bench fix the distro's Hall wiring receiver clip, just ziptied it into place for temporary solve once it was clear that it wasn't going to affix to the housing by epoxy. (Maybe I didn't properly clean the surfaces, or maybe I used the wrong epoxy, hard to say, it is not something I've much experience in). Going to cinch it down around the distro with a hose clamp very very soon.

This, and this alone, has gotten the brick SS Blue Meanie back to starting on a nanosecond crank and purring along like the ancient beast that she is. It is not any fix worth paying for, but at least I can get to work on time now. The spare distro will come in handy for whenever I feel like doing this by the book.

Thanks alleecat and Unkel Udo for the straight talk. I apologize for the thinking aloud.

BTW you were right about that clip being replaceable. IPD doesn't carry it but it be sourced online.
