Title: Distributor restoration recomendation
Post by: SCJSTU on May 07, 2023, 12:09:57 PM
did a search and info almost 3 years old so looking for a current restorer for my distributor.

Here is a picture of mine assuming its original for my 1969 Shelby GT350 4 speed a/c car built Jan 27, 1969.....its dated Jan 9, 1969

Thanks........their website says no antique Ford distributors so I emailed them to clarify....here is their reply.....It means I don't rebuild any Ford distributors.
Sorry,
Jeff

I didn't see that.  I guess Ford distributors are too "advanced" for them. 

I found this video very helpful. It's a bit long, however.

     I would imagine it's actually the customers who have become too "advanced" in their whims of that which they feel is "correct" and how the job should have been done, particularly in the finishing aspect, even if they were to function perfectly, so the proprietor has chosen not to incur the headache.    :-\

     At least that would be my guess?   ::)

Try Mel Perry, Mel's Ignition Systems, Siler City, NC (919) 663-2816.  He's been at it for a long time, has one of the old distributor curve machines. Tell him Stan sent you.

I'd recommend Mike.  He's done a few of my distributors and all have turned out fantastic.  Prices are reasonable as well.
