Getting loada matic rebuilt
 

Long story short I had my distributor out yesterday and noticed the springs beat up. I took a better looking set from another distributor but I was wondering if anyone can recommend someone who can calibrate the advance curve on a loadamatic.
Also when replacing a water pump make sure that distributor wire does not get caught between the block and pump or you'll fry your Pertronix unit.

Speaking of loadomatic distributors, My brother sent me one that has dual points with the condenser on the outside of the case. Is this a marine or military application ? It looks stock complete with part numbers although I don't have them on me at this time. Any thoughts? Tim

There was a kit to do the conversion.

It's probably a Mallory dual point conversion, They made them for a lot of different applications (they still show up on eBay from time to time). One of these was the first piece of "speed equipment" I bought, back in 1959.

It's a good thing they came with a "trash can" condenser to mount on the outside of the distributor; it was the only indication that "something special" was goin' on.

Thanks, Tubman and Flatjack9. If it is a reasonable distributor I will probably run it just because he found it in a scrap yard back in the day(when we were kids) snooping through the piles of junk. Tim

If Charlieny can't help you, try Lou Sumas 440-439-5628. I don't know if he works on the load-matics, but he does do the 57 and later.
