After market distributors

Dose anyone know of any top quality after market distributors to suit an 81sc 3.0L
if so who sells them and where abouts? The OEM units are hard to come by. Thanks.

Tell me about it... we should get MSD to hop on that problem... the only aftermarket ones I know of are twin plug jobs...

Nobody makes a single-plug distributor for a 911 besides Bosch. The volume is too small to attract any US maker of such things.

I have a spare for an 82SC and a spare for a 77 2.7 that's been recurved for Webers. Both in good condition. They are spare as I went to twin-plug (JB Racing distributor for one and crank-fire EDIS for the other.) PM me if interested.

Very interesting,...

That rotates CW and the 3.0SC motor requires a CCW one.

Why did the Factory flip the crank gear?

A disassemble/clean/lube/reassemble of a good working dizzy, new cap and rotor, MSD box and MSD Blaster coil and you are in business with a well-proven solution for much less $.

Though I can be easily accused myself of taking the hard road as a result of curiosity...

To get to the other side,.........................(I'm truly sorry: I couldn't help myself).

Good question and the answer is totally unknown. Pardon the pun, but they reversed themselves in '84 and went back to CW rotation.

+1 on JohnJL's comments.

You can even get new internals (NAPA) and shims (Stoddard 912/356 distributor rebuild kit $12)... for SC distributors anyway...

I don't know for sure but I assumed the factory flipped the gear in order to adapt an existing Bosch dizzy to the 911. This was when they went to the non-points inductive pickup dizzy. When they went to the 84 Carrera they eliminated the inductive pickup again and so went back to normal.

SC's used a totally different gear on both the crank (and distributor). Its not simply flipped around,..

What's a fair price for a rebuilt, new cap, new rotor 1983 SC/3.0 distributor?

I see our kind host rebuilds for a $1200 plus core charge.

I'm thinking $800 between pelicans?

John
