Default need help buying a new distributor

Hi,

I have a SN95 gt that, like many others, has developed starting/running issues. It started out just intermittently shutting off w/o warning while cruising, only to start up fine an hour later. But now it has progressed to simply not starting at all. I have already replaced the cap and rotor, spark plug wires, and ignition module. Its cranking and turning over, but there's no spark from the ignition module. I've been reading around and it looks like the problem is either my TFI or hall effect sensor (also known as PIP, stator, or ignition pickup coil). My car has 150k on it so I'd like to just go ahead and replace the entire distributor. I found this one on ebay, but can anyone tell me if it will work for a 1995?

I'm worried it might not because the TFI is mounted directly to the ebay one, but on my car the TFI is located on the passenger side fender..is this a problem or can it be worked around? Thanks everyone for your help.

you cant use a fox dizzy in your sn-95, you need an sn-95 specific dizzy if the stator is the prob or a tfi module if that is the prob
