You are fortunate to be able to obtain a replacement Hall sensor. Several manufacturers used this type but refused to supply distributor parts. After much effort I managed to obtain kits direct from Bosch and twenty and more years ago I fitted quite a few saving my customers a great deal of money. I used to carry the circuit in my head but it is now too long ago...

I always removed the distributor to fit the kit and then tested it before refitting by connecting it and spinning it by hand. The spark from these systems was so strong it didn't need to be seen and could be heard without problems.

Mostly it was a quick fix without complications but I remember a couple that probably didn't need a kit as they didn't work afterwards. The fault turned out to be an oxide coating on the 3-pin distributor connector that required much patience to scrape clean without damaging the small receptacles.
Another one had an internal break in the distributor/amplifier wiring.

if it goes to the distributor than that is an ignition module.it takes a small signal from the distributor and switches on and off to make a signal with more current to drive the coil.if it is bad you will have no spark.

I have a 1986 240 dl volvo, when i start the car the temp gauge goes right to overheat, after sitting all night, within 3 seconds? what could cause this

your coolant temp sensor wiring is touching ground. im assuming you have a few oil oil leaks. oil and heat on wiring insulation dont mix. find this wire and make sure it is not touching any brackets or the engine block. this doesnt sound like a hard issue. i think youll find something pretty easy.

If you're changing the plugs and wires, then just get a pair of pliers and just pull them off, if you're changing them out it doesn't matter if you damage them or not, then get a socket and take out the plugs. The socket fits on the base of the plug, not the tip where the wire connects to, so if you damage the plug tip that you're replacing it doesn't matter.
