I got my hall sender unit from Ken Wilford. The package came with a new
pin and spring.

Take note of the numbers stamped on the distributor housing and general
description i.e. breather attached to the distributor or not and year of
Vanagon.

I used the trouble shooting pages in the Bentley to determine that the
hal sender was not working. I expect a short in the wiring. I still have
to do a timing job.

While you are at it replace the the rubber gasket on the distributor
shaft.
