1111499 COPO Distributor Back From The Dead

[farone]

O.K. That vacuum advance is a GM replacement, it is a service part, that is not correctly numbered original part. You can't tell me that you would not make a deduction for that part if you didn't install it. Also what deduction would be taken for the condition of the distributor housing. I'm just trying to understand the "double standard" that I have personally witnessed.

No double standards Frank, this distributor is a driver condition original that the customer wanted restored if possible. Of course there would be a deduction for the condition of the housing if it were in a restoration type vehicle.

Regarding the numbers, that vacuum advance is a technically correct GM replacement and as long as it's cosmetially correct and plated correctly, full credit will apply. I don't recall that you received any deduction on one of your cars for a vacuum advance unit......have you? I don't think that anyone else received deductions in the "Legends" class for distributor vacuum advances?

I would give the guy that owns that Dist. extra points for going the extra mile for having the ORIGINAL dist restored for his car.
