A friend was testing a distributor for me.

Stock unaltered unit, and these are some of the numbers FYI, rpms are at the dist. not crank:
RPM Centrifugal Advance Vacuum Vacuum advance
750 1 degree 8 in. 1 degree
1000 6 degree 10 in. 5 degree
1400 10 18 in. 10 degree
1900 12.5
2200 13-13.5

 

I forgot to include the main focus, this pic of Bill's tester:

 

Those old Sun machine are great. Something you don't see very often today.

 

Wish I had one, Hard as heck to find.

I asked the guys who used to owen the local parts and repar shop in town what they did with theirs.......Threw it in the dumpster in about 1980 was their awnser. UGH!

 

OMG! Where is the landfill .

 

I know what you mean!

 

I know this thread is a couple of months old, but look at this:

For sale right now on ebay $2600.00 buy it now
This would be a cool item to have. in case anyone is interested
item number 120715766210

 

I would love to have that but can't Justify the $$ for the amount of work I do anymore...

 

Yeah I was going to mention this auction to a couple of truck clubs and maybe as a purchase by a club they could justify the money. Maybe I can get mine tested and worked on for free.

 

Mike, it's located in Northern CA. Buy that Bad Boy so we can send you our distributors to work on...

 

Looks to be in awesome shape. Nice retro style too. Price is awful high though.

 

Too much money. Hell I have a Snap-on valve grinding machine I've never used .

 

Wish I had a buck for ever distributor I ran on one of those. The one I used was built into the Sun UDT Tester as I recall. kotzy
