Hi Todd -

Looked at the 1237 010 039 this morning and it looks exactly like the 1237
010 027 that would have been originally equipped, so I have to agree with
Ken that the wrong Hall Unit may have been installed by the so-called
rebuilder.  Download and print the photo from the Airhead link I gave you
last night, take that and the distributor back to the supply and show them
the problem.
