Load-a-matic

Recently i took the advice from homespun91 and dumped the load-a-matic dist. for a 57 & newer dist. Talk about a 100 percent improvement. The engines never ran better even with a tea-pot on top. Thanks homespun91 for the info.

Nappa is all we got and it's a hundred miles one way. 80% dirt logging roads. Maybe I could buy one from you if the shippin don't hurt to bad.
Thanks

Well, cool! Glad it helped. I can't take any credit though, that's been a Y block trick for years.

So far as I know, any remanned Y block dizzy (commonly available from a parts store, that is) is done by Cardone. $60 seems like a pretty good price from what I've seen.

NAPA: NRD 482808 $62.49 Core $33.00

The cheapest I've ever found it is at Advance Auto Parts: $48.48, $29.99 core. 286Merc pointed that out last year & the price is still current.

Of course you have to be able to stomach doin' business with them.. around here they have an evil reputation.

Thanks from me too Guy's put that part number on my y block wish list. Gotta go in soon to pick up wiper ***. for W250. Get a Dizzy ordered while i'm there. They never have any thing in stock that amounts to much.
