I'll see if I can find part nos.  IMO, 2.8/2.2 DIS units are very
reliable.  Most failures that I've seen are in the secondary side, and
they're usually caused by leaving a bad plug wire on the car for too
long.  Eventually the spark tries to find a shorter path to ground,
through the coil insulation.  Second most common failure in my
experience has been the crank sensor.  The DIS on our 93 cav w 2.2 is
original, and has been there through 178k mi.  The 2.5L systems seem
to lose crank sensors more often.

Junkyard prices vary.  I paid $30 for a complete 4 cyl DIS system one
time, $15 for just a coil the next.  Depends on the weather around
here.  The yard that everyone has recommended to me just burned last
week, so there may be a fire sale coming up.
