Thank you VERY much for the info and the offer Ed!

 

However, I think this time around I will buy a remand, the last used one I had only lasted a few years, and although they aren't that hard to replace, I'd just rather not have to replace it so soon again.

 

Wonder what the life expectancy of a typical remand is?

A decent remanufactured one should last as long a new one. General Disorder could probably confirm this but Philbin Manufacturing in Portland used to re-man distributors. Hopefully they are still in business. Good luck.

My 82 wagon only gets jealous when I'm at the dealership looking over the new lot. Wont start, lights act weird, some odd thing that doesnt happen anywhere else. Just like the fickle girl she is. She is always thinking I'm looking over the young nubile freshly corrupt-able things.
