Yes all your parts stores have the electronic pick up :glasses7: and in stock :cheers: If that is what it is, could be a couple thing, set your air gap and do like I was saying .. remove your Cap and see if you are getting spark at the pickup..
do you have another distributor laying around any where with another pick up in it ?
I wounder if your engine is grounded :glasses7: have you checked it for ground, use your test light and check from the pos + on your battery and touch your engine block , hay I am just searching :D ..it may need a grounding strap ..
