DISTRIBUTOR RECONDITIONING

 It all comes together! Above--seven reconditioned Saab V4 Bosch distributors. In the center, the last one, still in one of my holding fixtures. Each distributor has been re-bushed, and all new parts installed, including the vacuum control units.
Here are the seven reconditioned distributors. Depending upon the customer's needs, they may be delivered with points and condenser installed, or a solid state Pertronix unit, if that's what the customer wants. All will have a new rotor and new distributor cap.  If the customer wants a new spark plug wire set, he/she can get that too.  
Next step--I'll put each one on the SUN distributor machine and set the mechanical advance curve. The vacuum advance curves have already been plotted on the tech sheet for that distributor. I give the customer a copy of the tech sheet, which shows the advance curves and all the parts that were used for the rebuild.

The next blog--the mysteries of the SUN machine...heh heh heh.....
