Bud,

I don't have any objections against rebuilding and recurving mechanical
distributors, but I would surely like to know how these people from Advance
Distributors know which curves suit best the many differently modified
engines out there.

And, who did you get the price of 500 Dollars from? And, have you ever read
a detailed description of the 123ignition system and understood how some
features of the 123ignition work which a mechanical distributor does not and
cannot offer?

Jumping in late, for one of my increasingly infrequent posts........
Ed hit the nail squarely on the head.  I keep seeing these posts advocating
five hundred freakin/' dollar ignition systems, with eight gazillion
mega-watts of spark, when all the A series engine really cares about is that
the spark be delivered at the correct time.  For not much more than $100,
Jeff Schlemmer (Advance Distributors) will rebuild your stock distributor
better than new, with an advance curve custom-tailored to your engine's
needs.
Better get busy and send him your worn out, broken distributor before he
raises his prices!
