Mostly stock 350 tpi I need a replacement Distributer, I looked on rock auto damn the AC Delco is 227.00 expensive! The generic brand cardone I think it was was like 99 bucks , anyone have any luck with some of the cheap ones?

 

Like everything else, you get what you pay for. I've seen the inexpensive imported parts wear out very quickly but that doesn't mean they're all junk. You're going to roll the dice. For that price, you can buy 2 of the cheap ones and if they both fail, you're still ahead until you need to buy a third.

 

For critical parts, and the distributor most certainly qualifies there.... I tend to bit the bullet, and spend the money on a KNOWN good brand. Cardone, Duralast, etc, do NOT fall into that category. Especially for electronics......

 

I am a Davis Unified fan, but cannot remember if they makeba small cap HEI EST unit.

@Airwolfe How much do you want for one of them and are you able to ship to germany? I'm thinking of buying three or maybe four, depends on your asking price...

 

Yes I can ship to Germany. I have to do a few things today. Will get detailed pics of them and price and get back in touch with you later.

 

Airwolfe, what are you looking to get for the distributors?

That's a good deal on a genuine GM part, I believe I paid a little less for an AC Delco reman and those seem like one of the better aftermarkets available...it even came with the supposedly hotter 369 ignition control module instead of the 048 that was on the original.

 

When I had to replace my distributor for the 2nd time I bought the GM performance one. This should be the part number: 1104060

A warning to anyone who buys one of these distributors, I had the ignition modules fail on two of these. From what I recall, the modules didn't have any type of thermal compound grease/paste on it. I ended up replacing the module with a Standard branded module (Bought from O'reillys, surprisingly made in the USA as well) and slapped it on with some thermal paste used for PC cpu's. Haven't had a problem after about 3 years now.

 

Are you warning people that there is something wrong with the Genuine GM (NOS) Delco Remy distributors I have that by the casting marks on the shaft of the housing were produced in the mid 1990's? Or you just giving a general warning to people buying HEI style distributors to make sure there is thermal interface compound between the ICM and the distributor housing?

I can assure you and anyone else that the ones I have do have thermal interface compound between the Genuine GM ICM and the distributor housing. At first glace it can appear that you are trying to warn members away from buying a distributor from me. At a second glance it appears you are warning people to make sure there is thermal interface compound between the ICM and distributor housing of any similar style distributor.

 

Reread my comment. I'm referring to the distributor I mentioned. The GM Performance ones that you can get brand new. Not you NOS ones. If I was in their situation and it was okay for the vehicle to be down, I'd buy one of yours. Although if you needed one quickly (your local dealer could get one of these in less than a day if they didn't have one already) get a GM performance one. Besides the problems I mentioned, I've been happy with it.

Your last sentence is correct, make sure there's thermal compound on any brand new distributor. I had two in a row that DID NOT have any thermal compound on them.

Also unrelated, don't buy the cheapo parts store distributors. They're extremely low quality. I also don't recommend buying the computer controlled HEI style distributor from MSD. Their ICM is not designed to be replaceable! Ask me how I know.

 

Airwolfe do you still have these NOS distributor for sale?

 

Yes I still have some left and would be happy to sell you one and answer any questions.

 

Airwolfe, Do you still have NOS distributors for sale?

 

Yes I still have some of those NOS Genuine GM 1104096 distributors for sale.

Airwolfe,
Sent you a PM.

 

Received your PM. Replied back with PayPal information.

Thanks.

 

Hey, I’m interested in buying one if you still any. I’m a new member and can’t PM you, how can I go about ordering one.

thanks!

 

I sent you an email.

 

I’ll give you my opinion, and I have no skin in the game, spent some time screwing around with aftermarket distributors and bit the bullet and bought one of these, nothing beats the real deal, nothing fits or works quite like NOS parts.
YMMV

 

I’ve received your email and replied.

thanks!

 

@Broom I got your distributor shipped out to you this afternoon. I emailed you a USPS tracking number.

 

Thanks Airwolfe, looks like it’ll be coming in on Friday. Just in time for valentines XD

 

That's what the Post Office says. I don't have a lot of faith in them lately. Hopefully it gets there in one piece in a reasonable timeframe. I packaged it well and insured it for the full amount just in case it doesn't.

 

Did you get your distributor on Friday? USPS said they delivered it to you. Did it arrive OK and in good shape?

 

Yes I received it last last Friday. Everything looks great.

here are some pictures for you all to see. Included some of my old one. Thanks again Airwolfe

 

Thanks for buying a distributor from me and thanks for posting some pictures of it. I left you an iTrader feedback.

 

Hi how do I order a distributor from you is there any links ?

 

Hi I'd like to order one but can't message you any links to help

 

Can you click on my name and send me an email?

I sent you a PM so maybe if I send it first it unlocks PMs so you can send one back.

 

Hello Airwolfe,
I would like to order a distributor also, I am not able to PM or email you. Let me know how we can get into contact.
Thanks

 

OK.

I figured when you sent me a friend request last night and I saw you didn't have PMs unlocked or the ability to post in the Classified section yet that was probably what you were wanting. I was going to ask a Mod to unlock them for you today.

I see your PMs are now unlocked. I couldn't PM you last night, but I can now. I'll send you a PM.

Update: PM sent.

 

@87IROCMEDIC @mikeg306

Hello Mike I see you just joined the site today and the first thing you did was Friend Request me. I assume you tried to reply in my distributor for sale thread and could not. Because you are a brand new member you also can't send me PM yet either. You have to interact on the forum and make something like 5 posts before PMs unlock and you can interact in the Classified section. So being a brand new member all it will allow you to do is send me a Friend Request.

IROCMEDIC did the same thing back in August and I intended to do this same thing for him but I got sidetracked somehow and forgot to.

I'm going ask @JT to unlock both of you all's PM ability so we can PM each other. JT would you please unlock PMs for them so we can communicate with each other?

 

 

Thank you JT.
