The black plastic box is simply a connector, which slides onto the distributor housing. As I recall it is held in place by a small plastic pin at the bottom. If you have broken the connector you will need to procure a replacement, but if not you may be able to recover by simply plugging the pins back into the appropriate slots on the connector and sliding it back onto the distributor. You might want to try sliding the connector back onto the distr, simply remove the cap and dust shield. If you happen to need the black piece let me know, I have a replacement distr from an urQ that should have the exact same connector ... Sorry that I can't tell you the pinout on the connector. Perhaps someone else on the list can answer that question. If not I can check the distributor that I have to get the pinout. Since we're on the subject, I'm wondering if anyone out there has rebuilt the distributor on an '83 urQ or similar. My distr has bad bearings. I have the replacement noted above, which has a fried Hall sender but good bearings. I got the Hall sensor plate out, but it seems like it'll take some doing to put it back together again. Am I going to have to remove the drive gear to be able to get to all the springs and such? TIA! Steve Buchholz s_buchho@kla.com
