Anyone in NJ or PA with a Sun Distributor Machine?
 

I want to get the advance curve set on my GM points distributor from my 455HO T/A. I would prefer not to ship it as it is pretty much irreplaceable. (it's a 1112126) Does anyone out there in NY, NJ or PA have a Sun Distributor Testing machine?

If you can't find a dist. machine, you can set the curve yourself with a good dial back light and a recurve kit. Not difficult to do, just a little time consuming to get it right.

Verne, I would be interested in that as well. Had my 488 dist done by Jerry, but messed with it cause my 350 ran real bad. turned out the machine shop did not seat the valves right and I had very low vacuum. Now that that is fixed, I would like to get the dist back to where it was.

Steve, how is it going? I've been enjoying the TA thread! it is coming together. My driver is in the body shop and more metal is being replaced than I thought. Isnt it always that way https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif Also been keeping busy reproing the RS headlight washer soleniod stuff.

Thanks, Kevin

Thanks for the tip Verne. Hey Kevin. I've been plodding away on the T/A. I finally found a date code correct 1112126 455 HO distributor on E-Pay (and you guys think COPO parts are hard to find!). I had an NOS 1112145 (standard 455 4 bbl application) and swapped all the internals to the 1112126 body. All the clearances were right on spec, I just want to set up the thing so the curve is right.

Verne, I called him and looks like we're on for next week. And he's only about a half hour from me. Thanks again, Steve https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Kevin I lost your email address and your profile indicates you aren't accepting pm's.

Tom Cannon, who races the 70 Challenger T/A in F.A.S.T., has one and he takes it with him to the track. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Steve,
You're welcome. I'm not trying to set my friend up in business. I'm just trying to help you because I know you're serious. As far as referring him to others, please ask him first. He's a dedicated family man with his own hobby interests.

Steve, I turned on the PM and will send you an email shortly.

Verne, I understand your reluctance on giving your freinds info out without permission, I respect that. Steve can vouch for me https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif

Steve, When you get you dist done, please ask him if he would be aggreeable to do mine on his machine too.

Thanks to both of you.

Kevin, My engine builder in Somerville has a Dist. machine and can set it up if you have no luck with the other fellow. Let me know if you need his #.

Enoch, are you Rich from formally PRC? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif How's it going? Yes, if you could provide me the number I would appreciate it. Better to have it in hand!

PS, any of your 69 Camaros or 69 Vettes need a headlight washer soleniod system? I've been reproducing them.

Bingo! Thats me Kevin, His name is Al (he's kinda like DOC Brown from back to the future:) his # is 1-908-526-7844. He has 2 Cross-Ram motors and 2 435 motors that he is doing for me now!!
I have been watching very closely your progress on the H/L solinoids...and I will be getting 2 or 3 from you in the near future!! They look great.
Rich.

Re: Anyone in NJ or PA with a Sun Distributor Mach
 

Thought so! Thanks for Al's number. I give him a call if I can't make other arrangements. I just made new molds for the RS body, the details are crisper now. And I have the internals now. Just give me a PM when you are ready. Thanks!
