Remember too, stock dizzys are also rebuildable. You can replace the gear, bushing, ignition module, connection block, cap, coil, and wires.

I think it's EFI Connection that sells the pigtails -- if you need them. Or local auto parts shops sell individual connector replacements. I started a post on the connector thing a few wks ago.

I think the connectors were called weatherpac IIRC. Just take your old ones up and they can match them for replacement.

John A. Marker sounded like the most persistent rebuilder of distributors I've seen in this forum -- meaning he's a good resource for questions too.

Greg, what is your source for the pigtails. My local Chevy dealer wants $125.00 for the 4 wire connector. I sprung for the other one at a mere $25.00. Thats $25.00 for about .50 worth of wire and plastic.

It should , it says under applications that it fits ( Corvettes from 85-91).I don't think it would cost very much to have yours rebuilt, like Gregg is saying, rebuilding might be the way to go....WW

As mentioned in my prior post, EFIConnection (if you need a "whole" pigtail). So far, I've just replaced individual connector pins with weatherpac gear from local O'Reillys.
