Jerry MacNeish (Camaro High Performance) has done several of mine. Nice job. Never any problems with them.

I like Harvey
H.Edlestein
630-469-6747

He does good reputable work and has Original Sun Machines & specs to dial in the Distributor.He has done 10 Distributors for me personally over the last few years and all have looked & worked as promised.
He is very modest on his prices.

I just had MacNeish do one for the 70 Z28. It looks real good. I had one from Harvey, which also looked good, but made a trade for a better date.

No not ten CARS, but a rare optioned ten distributor Chevelle - when you absolutely, positively have to have the spark there on time. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

I think it was $115.00, but that was at least a year ago. He generally runs an ad in Hemmings with the current price and what he does.

Do you have a contact number for him?

I bought a restored distributor from Dotterer. I ended up having to send it to Macneish to replace the points, plates, springs etc. Maybe Dotterer's improved, but that was my experience back then.

Based on Jerry's recommendation ??? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif

Re: Who are you guys using (Distributor rebuild)
 
I found Jerry's ad and he is now at $125 for the distributor blueprinting and restoration. I think if you need a new point kit it will be a little extra. There are photos on his web site that show everything Jerry does in detail including the Sun machine. There are photos of distributors
on the site and you can see the calibration certificate you get with the job which shows data about how the distributor is set up, curve, etc.

Jerry's site is: http://www.z28camaro.com/ To see the distributor work go to Restoration services, then to distributors. 410-781-0418.

Re: Who are you guys using (Distributor rebuild)
 
Thanks Bill,
the reason I asked is because the ad says $125 but before I found the ad I called and the guy on the phone said $175.

Jeff wants $250 https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif

theres not a lot to a distributor and in my personal opinion some guys are over priced a little bit.
