Got my rebuilt distributor back today

[nbristow01]

All I can say is WOW, it looked like a piece of art!!! Polished, new everything on it. I had them install the crane 700. My buddy Brad put it in for me. Car has NEVER run this smooth and strong. I have had the new IE distributor, pertronix, hot spark etc etc...nothing compares. I recommend him to anyone on FAQ if you want your distributor to function better than new.

I had them delete the vacuum advance(they put a plate over the opening also) and go full mechanical..but they can also rebuild your vacuum one. Recurve etc.

Here is the Link http://www.advanceddistributors.com/ click on the "Services" link for rebuild info.

Pics tomorrow when i get the car home

Yeah, you said it; I put in a new Bosch distributor in a 1974 Atlantik blue 2002 I had, 1980's, unit was only $110.00 new back then; what a difference. I had a mechanic at Mt. Read BMW/VW/Toyota put it in; he saw me for the 3rd time coming out of the parts dept within a few weeks and asked what I bought, I told him another tune up kit, I was going through points. He asked me if he could take a quick look at the distributor, then told me it needed replacing. He said to get a new one and he would put it in; he did this for a 6 pack of beer., incredible mechanic, Heinz was his name.

What was the cost for the rebuild?

[nbristow01]

Thet run between 150-250 depending on what you have done. Best to call them directly and ask. The Crane 700 was additional to that

I'm totally interested in this.. my dist is totally done. -Right now it acts like it spools up and has v-tec. I've been looking into Pertronix.. you say this performs better?

[nbristow01]

I have the Crane 700 in mine. I had them install it in the rebuilt Distributor. It works far better than any others I have tried. Its very very precision. Floow the link and call Adnavced. I can teull you will will be more than satisfied with both the service and what a kickass product he puts out

Pertronix is only a points replacement device.

The Crane gives you an electronic ignition, it all depends on what you want.

I think those that have each are happy with them. I have seen no rush from one to the other but both are improvements over the stock points set up.

So what did they put in for an advance curve? Provided a curve? W/O the vacuum advance it most likely lost a lot of cruising load ignition advance (and some economy).
