I own two of these. The first one went into my stock 292 and runs fine. The second I bought for my warmed up 292 with higher compression and performance cam but that one has not yet been run. Mine came with springs to modify your advance curve. I wanted a new coil, spark plug wires plus distributor. When compared to a MSD, plus wires and coil the savings was significant

Paul - These are the two people that I know that repair/refurbish YBlock dstributors. The first one did one for me : Lou Sumas - lsumas@aol.comLee Johnson, - leejon@outlook.com 812-598-8965 Both in U.S. First in New England, the other in Arizona PF Arcand (4/17/2021)
Kultutz & Paul2748: thanks for the offers of help.. Yes, just looking for basic Distributor repair, for a bad bushing as far as I know.. A Dwell meter check showed deviations in readings, + a persistent miss, particularly at idle. Don't think I'm well enough equipped to attempt a bushing repair ?. Unless I could find an electrical motor rebuilder or similar that could do a bushing ? Paul, your in N.J.. I'm in Canada on the west coast..so ? - Paul

I suggest that you go back and read Ted's earlier test/evaluation of the off-shore electronic, mechanical tach-drive distributor. His findings were positive. Long term? Who knows. But no matter where a part is made, once the warranty expires, you are stuck if there's a problem. Baseless opinions only prejudice people.do you have a link to it? http://forums.y-blocksforever.com/FindPost156530.aspx

Are you looking for some one to repair your distributor? I have a couple of names, one that did some work for me. PF Arcand (4/16/2021)
Am I missing something here? Probably! But going to the Summit site & at well over $300 U.S. just for the Cap & rotor assembly, stll leaves me with a worn bushing Distributor that I don't want to trade in to Cardone, after the problems they have gone thru with their rebuilts. So, now what ??
