Aloha All,
Let me be the next to endorse Advanced Distributors. The forty-nine year old distributor was badly worn and needed to be repaired or replaced. I discovered this while trying to set the points. I found I could push laterally on the rotor shaft and open and close the points. I followed several discussions on the BCF about replacement options and decided to send Jeff an e-mail to see if he thought he could repair it. I was pleased when he was confident it could be brought back to a better than new condition. So off went my distributor in the mail. In less than two weeks it was back, looking good as new. It had been recurved for a smoother advance and the vacuum advance unit was tested. The first noticeable impression was that the car idled smoothly at about 600 RPM. I had power and good acceleration from low RPMs which I didn't have before. The fuel efficiency has improved by 16%. So, for about half the cost of a new replacement distributor, I have the original (albeit only the housing) in a new and improved condition.
