if u have power to coil ur ignitor should be ok but if not google it and they explain how to test. not positive but i think u need to have a volt meter and test with key in on position.

It was probably just the ignitor, it states in the troubleshooting that if everything else in the ignition passes testing, including the ignitor, too replace the ignitor. I have done this on many occasions and it has worked.

Keep your old distributor as a spare, it is more than likely still good. Just replace the ignitor. Unless you had to take it in for a core.
