youd pretty much have to rip the bitch apart to get to the ignitor. I've had more distributor problems over the years then anything else, and I can tell you the bottom line is dont fuck with used pieces of shit. They end up breaking not too long after you put them in, just skip the bullshit and buy a new one. I think I got mine from bap geon for 240 new + core. Im not sure if anyplaces will rebuild them for cheaper but its worth a call or two around town.
