Should I just go ahead and replace the distributor? How many rotations is that over 170,000 miles? Probably a lot. Does a distributor come with a new rotor and cap? Probably not, they probably a la carte your ass just like Ruth Chris Steakhouse.

The thing is a piece of cake to work on. You can adjust the valves standing up
without getting carpal tunnel syndrome because you need to make your hand bend where there is not a joint,
It's a trade off, changing the water pump on the other hand is just like a 944, timing belt has to come out and you need a special tool. Also lots of fun to work on the oil coolers on those, and the alternator will have you swearing up a storm.
