    That price is ridiculous.  A junk yard fuel distributor
    could probably be had for $100, depending on whether the
    car is a turbo or not. A factory rebuilt unit (delivered
    a brand new unit in the rebuilt box, maybe not enough cores?)
    a friend of mine bought two years ago cost $700.00.  A local
    rebuilder wanted something like $350, it's been a while.
    If the car is a turbo, I know of a local parts car and
    could see what the owner wants for the fuel distributor.
    I noticed that several list members where parting out
    cars, I'm sure one of them has the part.
