Unlike the old pickup coil in the Dura Spark II distributor the PIP sensor can not be changed without removing the distributor.
Most just replace the distributor but the PIP sensor can be changed if you have a press and want to disassemble the distributor.
A lot of Auto Part stores will call the PIP sensor a pickup coil but there is no coil in it like the DS-II system had.
