distributor rebuild recommendations

gumba · 04-09-2015, 07:37 AM

I have a '76 euro distributor (237-301-001) 1 hose pot I'd like to get rebuilt. This is going into a modded bastard '79 3.3 bottom '76 3.0 top (heads-intake) motor.
thanks.

Well that was easy, it won't work. Had a nice chat with Barry at IAE. The early dizzys spin c/w the later spin cc/w, The 3.3 crank has the stock gear and the short block is assembled. Oh well.

IAE's got a screw loose. I sent him a dizzy years ago and he charged me $300 just to look at it, then gave me a quote of $1200 to rebuild it. I didn't pay the ransom and never got that dizzy back and it had a brand new vac pot. My story, hope yours is better.

I only hope the worst for POS's like that. WTF is wrong with parasites like that? It's a damn distributor....

Ed Fall at Vintage Werks is as nice a guy s you'll meet.

Supertec confirmed the distributor wouldn't work (engine rebuild thread). IAE quoted me at least $600 to rebuild the 3.0 dizzy, $1200 for a rebuilt 3.3. Thought the 3.0 dizzy was at least worth $600 in it's current needs to be rebuilt condition. Then called me later with an interest to buy the 3.0 if he could get it at a good price.
Since the 3.0 won't work, I listed the distributor, coil, 8 pin cdi & loom on ebay. The hpv-1 won't work either, so will be selling that off, oh well.

Hi Harold,
Curious. Why won't the HPV-1 work in your application?

gumba · 04-11-2015, 07:35 AM

Clewett told me that the pressure/map sensor for the hpv-1 is no longer available.

FWIW,......I've done business with Barry @ IAE for MANY years without any kind of issue. He's been nothing but a gentleman and a totally ethical individual with me.

Maybe you can get my dizzy with new vac pot back for me then.

If I may kindly suggest, why don't you just call Barry and work out whatever problem you have?

I'm not going to hash it out here on the board, do what you want, I'm done with him.
