Then it ran, now it don't, part deux

Hey, I was right! Those that don't recall this thread from about 2 weeks ago, the patient was a '86 5ktq that wouldn't start. I finally got together last night with Louis, and it took about an hour and a half to find the dizzy to be about 90 degrees off and the timing referance sensor to be bad. Unfortunately I didn't have a spare sensor with me, so I temporarily swapped one out of my 5ktq which fixed it, but of course I needed to take it back to drive home. Oddly enough though the mark on the front crank pulley for TDC was wrong, so I had to verify TDC with a screwdriver down the spark plug hole. 

Very nice car too, it's in better condition then any I have seen. It's Pearl White, with grey leather. I only saw 1 dig on the exteriour, other then that the car looks new on the outside. On the inside it's equally nice, except that the leather seats were a touch hard and the passenger front seat had very recently split a couple of seams. Only issue mechanically seems to be that it needs shift bushings.
