New picture. Thought of sending to RockAuto for a magnet lol.

I would go to the junk yard and pickup a Delco ICM and coils. I got mine for about $35 about 8 years ago and it's still going strong. Delco setup has a hotter spark and better reliability. Here are instructions and info about what you need and how to install. http://reattaowner.com/roj/common-problems-a-solutions/replacing-magnavox-ignition-with-delco Thanks to Padgett for the info!

I've never heard of that Brand. I wouldn't buy it myself. I like to stick with name brand parts. Prefer ACDelco or Delphi but sometimes have to substitute because of price. . If you want it you can get it cheaper on amazon and I think you would have more protection if something goes wrong. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=herko+LX349&i=automotive&ref=nb_sb_noss

I did it on the 'vert and my mechanic friend said it was a good time to do it. I will also tell you that I went 265,000 miles on the Red before I would have done it on that car. However I bought a ultra low mileage '88 engine which according to 2seater [and I believe him] has a bit more HP. Still ended up doing some work on that engine before the install [with a rebuilt tranny]. So the easy answer is if you are pulling the timing cover to do the cam sensor sure swap it out. If you are doing the "quick" repair [see above in the "common problems" found in the tool bar then you may not want to.

* Well, I've not done the CPS Tests yet (on a known good CPS) because, after the first night of the car starting (and apparently running smooth), the second day was very different. It then started a little hard, and ran rough, with some apparent skipping.... I took the spark plugs out and inspected, and they appeared pretty clean (except one was slightly dirtier -- so I cleaned it and replaced that wire). The next day, I swapped the ICM from the other Reatta, and it started, seemingly running a bit better, but not perfect. The following day, it would not start at all. Checked spark: NO spark (yes, I know: how could it have started and run after the CPS job, if there was no spark then). Checked ICM power: 12 volts Checked power to CPS: only about 6 or 7 volts. That's where I left off, and will address the ground to the ICM tomorrow... (note: I don't have another ICM to swap... maybe they are both bad, or there is some serious grounding problem?) Oh, just for shiggles, I did visually inspect the CPS, but didn't see any physical problems (of course, I can't see the whole thing with the balancer somewhat in the way).
