Harry Mann 68 L78 / L88 Camaro

A while back, I scrolling through Facebook Marketplace and found this NOS NAPA distributor. Back in the day, NAPA had it's own line of high performance parts (much like many others such as Sears).

For $100, I thought WTF? That would be a cool conversation piece. Fast forward to today. I'm waiting on parts for a couple of cars in the shop, plus waiting on getting a car delivered (more to come on that). Being bored out of my gourd, I thought I'd check out the distributor. This thing is cool! Very adjustable, and high quality. Check out the plating on the points and condenser! I fooled around with the advance curve features. Is that ever clever!

I think this may find it's way into the L88

Here is the literature enclosed with the distributor....

I sure wish I had a distributor machine like that. Someday maybe.

Once you get the curve set up it's great, but it's a pain when you are leaning over the fender trying to make changes when the weights and springs are in the bottom.

Back in the day, Echlin made some really high quality ignition parts. Cool piece Tim!

It's easier to pull the distributor IMO. Right now, the Roto Phaze is locked at 40 degrees. This will be a step in the right direction
