Could be the distributor itself.

Did you check for 12V at the coil with the ignition on? If you have 12V then it's probably the PIP/Hall Effect inside the distributor. It's a PITA to change. I change mine cuz I'm stubborn, but it's way easier to change the distributor. If you are going that far, I would relocate the TFI. There is enough length in the factory harness to move it to the passenger shock tower. The only other thing you would have to do, is get 3/16 male and female spade connectors, and some wire (red, green, black) so you can plug the TFI into the PIP when you reocate it. 2-3 hours if you take your time and do it neatly. If you are interested in that, PM and I can send some pics. I would need to take them, so it might be a day or 2. My relocation dropped the TFI operating temp by 60 degrees!
