I have not pulled the original out yet. It appears to be the factory one and the truck has 105k on it, so if the shaft and bearings are good, I suppose I can try a new $25 pickup coil first and any other parts that are worn or cracked. I have more time than money at this point and it's not my daily driver.

I think that would be my choice. I have 300k miles on my original distributor with only a few cap and rotor changes.
