After the new part is installed,time to check Her compression after riding Her a hour er so.
I'm thinking this cam sensor was starting to wear out so the PO was slowly advancing Her timing
rather than replacing..looking at the marks on it.
If Her compression's good, and I don't find much more wrong...then maybe its time
for a new cam bearing and fancy cam
Thank Yall fer the great help here..

Progress report and question.

Is there a easy way to get these frigging connections into the rubber factory boot?
I know the order..and pulling the old ones out twas easy,I didn't care about them getting damaged.

That wiring tool you bought (I think you got the wrong one) should have a part that is like a small pipe with half of the end cutaway.
Like this one
Amazon Amazon

You can use that to push the connectors into the rubber boot.
Alternatively mabe a small flat head screwdriver or a large jewelers screwdriver would work.
