Code 14, Ignition profile pickup?
Didn't start a couple times, now no start, turns over ok.
Recently replaced Ignition control module, could that have failed?
Code 14.

Code 14 comes from the pickup inside the distributor. Could be the pickup, could be a connection or wire to the pickup. You can buy a pickup and replace it, but you have to take the distributor apart. You could buy a replacement distirbutor, buy I WOULD NOT buy a rebuilt distributor from the parts stores. They are usually remans from cardone and I have had lots of trouble with those. If you could find a NEW distributor, that would be best, but I do not know if they make such a thing to fit your engine. 2nd best would be to repair your distributor.

2 new available locally - steel or cast iron gear?
Verified cast iron
$20 more for (apparently) identical unit with a cast iron gear- OEM? The original is long gone

Gear
There appeared to be a choice between steel and cast.
For the record, NAPA had a 20% SPOOKY online discount for a new distributor, so I went for the in stock part. It popped right in, and I nailed the placement, timing was right on.
THANKS again for everything you do in this forum, MUCH appreciated!!!
