The concept is that the signal from the reluctor pickup coil should
be clean. Since the signal error is more noticeable at low rpm and
the ECU is a solid state device I am pointing to the housing
problem. Also, an error from the reluctor will get your rpm jumping
wildly.

The housing is estimate $145, a whole new set $245-350. Back
in those days, I'd just swap the bearing for $0.50. That's where
the problem originates.

Yes, if you run a test thru my scope and I'd confirmed it. Otherwise,
it's up to you.
