Sensor needs to go back in the detent of the dust shroud and dist cap. you prob knocked it loose when cleaning your cap. don't waste time getting it all fitted together into your "home made remanufactured" dist cap. Scrounge a few parking lots for change and get a new one. Then after you have spent 45 min getting the sensor back where it belongs, you won't be doing it again in 10o miles. It will only save you aggrivation in the near future.
