Looking for used 88-89 parts

[gbh]

I recently bought a 93 Protege and would like to get my 1988 323 running to sell. I'm looking for a complete distributor for a 1988 non-turbo. I don't want to pay much as the car at most is worth $400. Anyone have any leads on a 88 or 89 parts car? Been watching ebay without luck. I'm getting quotes of $100 and up from used parts places. Thanks.

why do you need the whole thing?

It was suggested to me by a local mechanic. I believe the problem is within the distributor, and as there are a couple/three things that could be wrong, it seems easiest, and cheapest, to locate a used distributor. The problem is likely the igniteor, but that part alone is around $100 new, or so I've been told. I'm not opposed to trying individual parts, but as I'm having trouble finding a used distributor as it is (nothing local anyway), I'm not sure how much luck I'd have on the internals.
