I took this video of the distributor tester today. I thought I would post it here in case anyone wanted to see how these work.

Why would you test a Chevy distributor in the counterclockwise direction on a Sun Distributor Tester?

Ooops, I just hooked it up to show it spinning for the test. I was not paying attention to the direction.

I don't blame you.Very nice item,that would've made me lose focus too.
You don't find many that can still turn as nicely as yours.

I ended up deciding that shipping these was not a big deal and listed them on Ebay today. The reserve on the disributor machine is $1049 and the tune up machine is $549. I will post this in the classified section as well. I figured since I started this thread I might as well gice it closure.

Links to listings for anyone interested:



Sun Distributor Machine


Sun Tune Up Tester


Thanks,


Jason

Jason, here is one of those in a museum in Escondido, CA called Deer Park Winery. My son, with a degree in Automotive Technology, is looking at it with great interest (like me looking at a stone tool in a museum):
