need help. RANGER DOWN! distributor dead
hey guys, so i was just puttin along yesterday, minding my own business, being tail geated by a mini van, no big deal right? well i put the truck in N (5 speed tans) and was rolling to a stop, when i saw that my Tac. went to a big fat 0. nada ziltch.
so got it towed all the way back home, about 1 mile, and went to work at it today, and replaced the starter (the old one had to go anyway) $100
oil change $35
coil pack $27
only to find out my distributor is not rotating my rotor, there fore making no spark to my plugs.
so here's the situation: buy new distributor assembly for another 100, or buy the Gear and pin kit, to see if something is still salvageable....?
im assuming i have to pull the engine out again? should come out in less then an hour this time, all the bolts have been Never Cease'd
asking from ME
motor is a 3.0 V6

the distributor wouldnt budge at first, so my father and i went to town on seeing if it was my timing chain, yeah... it wasnt, so after we put everything back together, the distributor came right out, and my gear on the bottom of the distibutor, is stripped like a hooker, thanks for the help guys!
