It is basically a subassembly under the flywheel with a few wires. I would find a used one, and find someone to put it on cheap. Of course you get what you pay for but here in Dallas, we have a lot of independent shops that can beat the dealers labor. Get a manual and tackle it yourself(if your competent). On motors that old, it ends up being a bunch of money, relative to the overall value of the motor.
