I did not realize that distributors are that much of an issue.

Here's a wild question.

I am getting a CNC lathe delivered on Friday.
Then I get to learn to run it. :scratch

Once it's functional, would there be any point in making "Billet" distributor bodies? :dunno

I would also need a source of the shafts, gears, and other internals.

I felt it made the distributor wobble too much. I got mine from LGC couple years ago. Sold it right away.

I made a billet dist couple of years ago and it worked out realy nice. Used all SBC parts from MSD. Put it away as a part for sale because of MSD's ready to run part. As usual, a day late and a dollar short.:doh
