I removed the two hex screws holding it in place but I believe it might be epoxied to the distributor.
Does the factory habe to do a rebuild or can I get this off myself? NEED ADVICE.

Thanks I have that part. Problem is removing the old one. It appears to be epoxied in place. I removed the 2 screws but it will not budge. I am afraid if I put too much pressure on it I will bend the aluminum plate it is epoxied too.

Thank you.
The magnetic pickup needs to wire to the ignition control module. I need to know what color wire goes to each letter on the ignition control module.
Control module has. "P" or " N" marked on it.
See picture.
