Thanks! It seemed kinda worisome at first. But with luck and patience and adequate testing, it came together.

Thanks. But it was really just luck, with diligence to help it along. This car! Been with me since June 2001 when it had 27,000 miles. Now has 273,000.

I had work and family stuff intervening so the car sat in my driveway for a few days after AAA towed it in. I suppose it was 5 hours applied time working on it. I already had some of the "known good" parts to swap. I bought a test light for the spark tests and distributor test, too. I was kinda joking in saying I got paid. It was not worth it. But I don't think they could up the price given their guarantee of a replacement. When the dude offered me cash, I expressed my shock. He explained. I thanked him. Xmas came early!
