Distributor Problems

If the shaft wobbles take it back. A rebuilt is only as good as the rebuilder.

Heck if it takes 6 of em to get it right do it.

This time check it before you leave the store.

Yes, we checked this one when we got it because the plate broke in the first one we got.we just cant seem to find out the difference in a 70 dollar distributor and a 40 dollar one,if one has better bushings than the other.thanks for the help,David

That is so O'rielly typical lets see 2 starters in one month after the bought out Checker, Two Power steering pumps, and they did away with the Checker HiPerf store section at one of the old converted checkers here so now Holley tune-up stuff is special order.I get all my rebuilt stuff from NAPA and CarQuest now I know I won't have to go back. O'rielly low end is now higher than Autozone and the high end of both of their rebuilt stuff is more, most times, than NAPA and CarQuest.

part of the price difference is the quality of the rebuild. the other part could be price markup.

The more expensive rebuilt O'Reilly has the same quality parts.

Thanks for the input everyone,oreillys is going to try to find a (better distributor) and if it is more expensive they will swap it out at no extra charge.This is the first time i have bought anything from them usually advance or napa is where i do business but this was the only distributor in town in stock.I have a good distributor in a 360 engine but im not sure if it will fit a 390. Thanks again David

This has nothing to do with the previous post but i have tried to upload alot of pictures,and it always says the pictures are to big to upload and i cant figure out have to make them smaller.

332,352,360,390,406,410,427 and 428 Dizzies are all interchangeable. Advance curves vacuum advances vary as do certain 390, 406,427 and 428 dizzies have dual points instead of single points.

If you got a 360 dizzy use it don't buy new unless it is sloppy.
