Electronic Distributors From Rick Ehrenberg

Lots of people have them. My only argument is that they are all curved alike and it's impossible for them to be optimized for every engine. If you consider them a starting point, they can be very nice. Much the same as what Mopar Performance offered years ago.

is the dist. at least as good that would come on a HP car back in the day? as long as its good as a stocker I'd be happy. I gotta get this thing running and worry about the fine details later. As long as its a good unit I'll be ok. I would have got the mopar kit but its a orange box and I'd like to rev to 6000 at least

Post #38 is spot on.

This is a photo from one of his small block distributor ads marketed under the HIREV7500 brand. Do a search for this part number (DST3890). I could be wrong, but it seems like he takes an offshore repro unit, and just installs a metal thrust collar with a couple shims and his generic "performance curve." - something anyone can easily do. His ads are also very carefully worded - "100% Chrysler engineered internals," "original '70s Chrysler 'Indianapolis plant' bulletproof design." Nice salesmanship, but count me out.

I seen some variances as well but who makes a stock dist in North America anymore?
I know from recent activities the chinese dist. are not set up well and the vac advance sucks. I been though it with chev and ford.
I appeciate the member with his rebuilding and such I just cant afford it. Being in Canada makes it worse.
and that nylon collar? I thought I was seeing things but wow I seen that on the cardone ones and such and thought it was a lighting issue. It really is nylon on some makes!

thanks for all the replies!
