i can get one. i took the control module to the parts store and had it tested. it was fine with both low and high rpm's. they said that the problem then was probably the pick-ups inside of the distributor. i pulled off the rotor this morning, and there are no pick-ups inside of it. all thats there is the shaft, rotor, the case, and the cap. np ick-ups, no wires. i looked later this morning and there are wires that do come out of the back, underneath the base plate of the distributor (sorry if im not using proper terms).

Ok, after you get the plastic piece off the top first(that's what's commonly known as the rotor), you should be left with a "star wheel" or a little metal wheel with 8 fins on it. The fins just barely miss a little square thing in there, and that's the pickup.
To get this little "star wheel" off(I can't remember what the official term for that wheel is), you will have to use two large screwdrivers to pry it off. Watch out for the little pin. There is a little roll pin that is used like a key, to keep the wheel from spinning around on the shaft. As you pry the wheel off, this key may fall out and down inside the dist. You don't want that to happen.
After you get the wheel and the pin out, the pickup will come out.
