Doesn't the /6 distributer use a variable reluctor rather than Halls effect?

The reluctor setup IS a Hall effect switch. The reluctor wheel is magnetic, and there is a pickup coil at the magnet on the ignition module in the dist.

Nope, exact same technology. The reluctor is the same as the shutter in the 2.2L distributor.

Did you gap the reluctor in the distributor as suggested? That can cause this problem. .008 inches with a brass feeler gauge.

It caused very rough running, poor (hard) starting and stalling for a member who was at Carlisle last year. Bob O'Neill and I fixed it on the spot by setting the gap.
