Sorry if this has already been covered I couldnt find it. I went to the trusty haynes manual and it says consult a professional if you have an 88 or 89. I understand it is in the distibutor? Does this involve removing the distributor or just the cap and rotor to get at it? And is this really a $180 part? Thanks,Aaron

Just remove the cap, rotor, and a "dust cap thingy". Remove the couple screws that hold it in and pull the wire connections off it. Remember where the wires get reconnected. Rock Auto is selling the whole distributor at a "close out" price of $104.00.
I bought 2 of them for spares while they can still be found. Our Festivas are getting old and the parts producers are going to be cutting back on these old parts.You gonna race that thing?

Like Worfdog said, you get the ICM, but you don't get the wire that plugs into it. So don't damage it when you take the wire off the old one because you will need to reuse it.You gonna race that thing?
