What this service includes
A properly functioning distributor is critical for accurate ignition timing, smooth starting, and strong engine performance. Wear in mechanical or vacuum advance systems can cause misfires, poor idle, and loss of power.
We restore distributors to factory condition or upgrade them with modern electronic conversion kits where suitable.

- Inspection of bearings, bushings, and advance mechanisms
- Replacement of worn or corroded components

Every rebuild is bench-tested before refitting.
