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.

Hey gatar11,

Your post reminded me of an earlier problem I had in the same area. Check this out as it might be helpful. You might be able to just rebuild your distributor with some new sensors and a coil instead of buying a completely new assembly.

Hope that helps.

I think the OP fixed his distributor long ago. I brought the thread back from the dead because I had the same issue. I'm broke so I went with a junkyard distributor with a new coil.
