Help! My '85 244 GL went into a coma - or is it hibernation? 200

Happy New Year to all. I went to the local salvage yard last week to get a distributor after getting sticker shock on the price of a Halls Sensor. Unfortunately, the only '85 240 in the yard had a distributor worse than mine. There was an '86 with a distributor but someone had already rescued the Halls Sensor. The rest of the cars that were in the proper year range were Turbos and no help there. I checked the price of a distributor ($218) against the price of an Halls Sensor ($165) and opted for the entire distributor. After my (@&%#*!!)source mis-ordered the part twice , the new distributor arrived yesterday and will be installed, in some fashion or the other, today. With any luck, it will run.... Thanks to all who responded and keep your fingers crossed.
