Re: {Chrysler 300} Distributor restoration

I rebuilt a dual point for my '65 Barracuda and Bob's video was a great reference.

I took it one step farther because the bushings were worn and pressed in new bushings. They turned out to be a standard size and could be bought "off the shelf". I had to ream them to size after pressing them in, which didn't surprise me. The FSM uses a burnishing tool, but reaming .001" or so to size was really nothing.

Some scrounging around on eBay found a new oil cup, also a standard, off the shelf item. Mancini had a new vacuum advance.

The only issue is not having the machine to spin it up after, but some time on the car with my set-back timing light showed it worked fine.

Hope this helps,

John

Thanks everyone...appreciate the recommendations. After watching Bob Merritt's outstanding video (thanks again Bob), I feel emboldened to at least open it up and see what kind of trouble I can get myself into. If all else fails, I will look into recommended restorers.

I have used Ray Brenner in Halifax, PA as well and he has a lot of old NOS parts to repair our distributors with. Just excellent results and easy to work with.

He only does Mopar distributors and usually has a vendor spot at Carlisle.

or there's this by our own Bob Merritt if you'd like to try it yourself.

Can anyone recommend a good place or person to restore a dual point distributor for a 300H?

Thank you!
