Dear Packard0820:

I usually don't post names per se to avoid sensitivity issues. To do the job right a rebuilder needs one of the old time Sun Distributor machines that take up a whole service bay. Anyway my supplier has a big catalogue and an 800 telephone number.

I have a lot of faith in their sources because they were able to address concerns about Bendix Treadle Vac performance.

Another note on this case I outlined above, I failed to mention that the ignition spark was only 20KV which is below the desired 25KV. The car has a Standard Motor Parts UC14 (modern 6v) coil on it. So obviously ignition has been a problem in the past. What I found is that there is a bad connection through the ignition switch on this car that causes poor ignition.

Oh, and many thanks for the nice compliments.
