Congratulations! We're all really pleased that you stuck with it.

I suspect that some dirt fell into the trigger points, keeping them 
from making contact. This would explain the throttle clicks going 
away. One of the important things I do when I rebuild a dist is clean 
everything pretty well, as dirt from the breaker plate above can fall 
down like this and disable the car, so it's important to not only 
remove the offending dirt, but also that which is threatening.

Keep up the good work!
