Metal shaving inside cap. dies all the time while driving. what could cause this to happen to the distributor?
SOURCE: no rotation of distributor
while it's possible the gear came off the end of the distributor, the most likely cause of this issue is a broken timing belt, which doesn't always cause engine damage. if you can, unbolt the distributor from the engine and just check to see that the keyway is still attached to it and spins it. if so, take it into the shop because you've got something internal going on, whether it's the timing belt, or a broken camshaft.

Here is a firing order diagram if that is what you are looking for?
SOURCE: What problems arise with a faulty "Control Module"
If the Might Max has a 3.0 V6 then the distributor uses several small LED lights wthin it and a spinning disc with small holes in it as the disc spins the the light briefly passes thru the holes calling on the ECU to spark or injector pulse; I do no think this may be rebuilt. However given the year of the truck my money is on the ECU failing (the capacitors on early 90's mitsubishi will leak and fail) You can read the ECU by use of a small connector near it and using a standard analog volt meter.
Please let me know if I may assist further.
Best regards,
Tom
