What you see is the copper wire that makes up the Hall Effect pickup. There is normally a bit of plastic that protects the coil of wire which left us on the track. With that gone, a bit of wire must have snuck out and quickly was collected by the distributor. The coil was collateral damage as you can see it popped.

Your going to want to replace the whole distributor. Alot of people will say to only get a new one but I would get a remanufactured distributor with a Lifetime Warranty from your local autoparts store. Its gonna run you $200-$300 for a generic distributor that inludes everything except the cap and rotor.

That was the original dizzy.. we ended up driving 2.5 hours round trip to find a replacement distributor at like $200 from a random Autozone so we could get the car back on the track and finish the day. The replacement was actually an OE dizzy "reman'd" but I decided to swap the coil with a brand new one as a tired coil will start to breakdown after heat soaking...
