Electronic Distributor Builders ????????
Anyone on this site know the name & company of a member that does distributor work & setup? This would be for a 300 4,9L inline 6. Pertronix only builds complete new units for Ford V8, they make the parts only for a 240/300 points to electronic rebuild. I am thinking that he is on this site but might be over on the Ford 6 site. Thanks

Why not just use a Duraspark? Super reliable and parts available everywhere.

Looking more at a person to do the re-curving than what type of unit I use. I got a reply from a member over on the Ford 6 site, the distributor man is Bill Ambler (wsa111). Thanks for looking.

Tedster9 --- What is the term for our name on this site? Like yours (Tedster9) & mine at (old28). Does Faron Rhoads have one on this site or over on Ford 6 site? I have his phone number but would rather email or PM him with my distributor questions. Thanks Tom

You mean "username" by that?
Sometimes called a 'handle" but I think username is the official term.

I don't know if he's a member of FTE, I doubt it.

Tom, I'd be interested to see what they say, some idea of the turnaround time and price. It used to be around $100 + shipping both ways, but that was a long time ago.
