You know that Leading and Trailing are interchangeable on the distributor, right? In other words, if you're trying to limp it home or back and forth to work, you won't be able to run on a bad Leading Ignitor, but if you switch Leading and Trailing, you should be able to get a good ignitor in the Leading position that will start and run the car. It won't run very well, have as much power, or get as good fuel mileage - but it will run.

Are you tracking down a known J-109 Ignitor issue? Troubleshooting an ignition problem?
