My 14 year old son is looking to buy one. He is rebuilding a 67 Mustang. Time is running out! Please help--thanks, Debbie Tom Greenleaf Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Nov 26, 2007, 2:07 AM Post #2 of 4 (6200 views) Re: Distributor Testing Sign In Bet nobody has the machine for those by now. You can just look at those and have a good idea. If the bushings for the shaft are ok as well as the cam for the points it will be good to go and work with from there, T Guest Anonymous Poster Nov 26, 2007, 11:31 AM Post #3 of 4 (6194 views) Re: Distributor Testing Sign In Thank you for taking the time to reply. This distributor does not have points, it is electronic. Mallory Comp9000 or Unilite are the two he's looking at currently. Thanks! Debbie Tom Greenleaf Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Nov 26, 2007, 2:07 PM Post #4 of 4 (6190 views) Re: Distributor Testing Sign In These are no doubt capacitor discharge type that eliminate the need for points. Why are you changing over the original distributor? Despite all claims of incredible power and fuel savings there isn't much advatage for this engine without changing the whole engine to something else completely. I yanked all that garbage off a 69 Lincoln and it hadn't run so well in years after getting rid of stuff before its time. What's the objective here? More performance? Changing the distributor is barking up the wrong tree for the 60s as orig was just fine. Only issue with points is periodic checking, adjustment and or replacement for about five bucks, T   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
