Take an image of it to the auto parts store, that might help with getting the correct one.

 

Between cap and rotor(which I am going to keep) and module I would have spent more than a new distributor would cost. So I'm going to buy a new one after I do all test yous recommended. Any hints on how to install a new distributor.... I jumped ESC, I changed module, tested coil, and replaced cap and rotor. Next I will check the primary side of coil and pickup coil for ohms. Than I will let yous know the results.

 

I got it running I returned parts and bought a brand new distributor, but wire from module to ESC is missing... Anyway thanks for all the help the both of yous gave. Ummm what would you recommend the timing set at for a 305??? I have done research and they all give me different degrees... Should I set at idle with of course vacuum disconnected??? I couldn't find yous guys to tell you thank you, but I finally did 😁😁😁

 

I'd say 8 deg. btdc

 

Can timing make engine run hot. She getting to 210° upper hose to hot to touch and bottom is hot, but can grab. Never had problem with cooling until I dropped in distributor (no retard ESC hookup) I can't afford this right now, but she is running for the most part lol.

 

Yes, but I'd think 210 is ok, you can replace the thermostat to a lower setting.
