Before you go spending money x2 on questioning why mechanic thinks it needs distributor.
There's a boatload of things that could cause it not to start. Basics are a) is it getting fuel? b) does it have spark?
Just to give you an idea of possibilities it could be related to: fuel pump, fuel filter, plugged fuel line, fuel temp sensor, stepper motor, coils, distributor cap, rotor, plugs, wires, fuses, relays, wire connections, timing, timing chain, etc. I think 94 also has an amplifier on the distributor, these cook and puke, which is why you can get relocation kits for them to move them away from engine heat. Has he eliminated all these as a possibility?
Also, if the guy is adamant it's the distributor, again find out why? You may think about taking it to someone who repairs distributors and having them check it before you start spending money, could be it just needs a cheap fix.
