Did anyone ever answer Kevin's question? I searched the posts and did not
find one so here it goes.  

The trigger points are in the base of the distributor and they help tell the
injectors when to fire.  There is a black MPC plug coming from the wiring
harness that goes into the side of the distributor and connects to the
trigger points.  The points are held in by two screws.  If the points get
dirty they can effect how the car runs.  To clean them you remove them from
the distributor and run a clean piece of paper between the contacts.
