They wanted $418.00 just for the frickin distributor! Didnt even come with the cap or rotor! I just did the replacement myself it was pretty easy,If youre willing to get a little bit greasy you can replace your cap, rotor and distributor itself for under $150. Another thing you might wanna check out and get tested (@ autozone) is your ignition module. Its only like $50 itself and most likely contributed to my problem as well. So yeah, easy fix man, just grab a buddy or a relative with a little bit of know how and it all can be fixed for a little under $200. Dont fret. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Until then i suggest (if your problem is identical to mine) NOT driving ANYWHERE in the stang. Get a ride where you need to go or use another car, cause breaking down and getting stranded sucks and can be very expensive.*Edit* - Also remember to mark off the rotor and the distributor before you pull it to stay as close as you can to the original timing. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
