Steve, good question.

Many years ago I stumbled on to a HUGE supply of distributor springs, as well as a butt-load of NOS 2GC, Monojet and Q-jet parts.

I have also purchased hundreds of distributors over the years for parts.

I'm actually starting to run a bit low on springs, and center cams/weights for HEI's. Even so we don't advertise distributor work, PLENTY busy with other things, but we still do one or two a month.

We are finding that most HEI's will have wear at the pins and weights, so we're frequently having to replace the pins and braze the weights up and re-drill them to size. I actually like doing them in that manner vs using the whimpy plastic/Teflon bushings the factory used in many of them. I haven't had a single HEI repaired in that manner wear at all as the braze provides a nice bearing surface against the hardened steel pins......Cliff
