How many miles you got on the car man? If its a pretty high mileage car 100,000+ miles (which isnt bad for a 5.0 at all, but the dizzy's wear out sometimes) , its probably going to be in your best intrest to just replace the dizzy with a re-manufactured one. YOu can get one at Advanced auto for like $70 with a core charge. After awhile they just get play in the shafts cause the bearings wear out and then thats all she wrote. Good luck.


But if your just going to replace the modual, its a pretty cheap part, not sure how much though, something like $15. and your going to need a modual tool, like $6 to remove the old one. So replace the modual, replace the dizzy...thats up to you.

Good luck. Let us know how it goes.

if you have a few days, I have one for sale, I bought it from the zone, but I ended up needing to replace the whole distributor and now have no need for it because the new dizzy came with one. Just throwing it out there because its new and would be cheaper than one from the zone.
