Model B distributor (or alternative ) needed.
 

Friend of mine here in UK has a B engine but only the housing of the distributor-no innards. Is there anywhere Stateside that sells complete B dissys or complete internals? Have any forumists got an alternative suggestion eg possibly an A dissy with an auto advance mechanism?? All suggestions welcome.

Try Renner's Corner, rennerscorner.com, (734) 428-8424. Don't waste your time with Mickey Mouse short cuts. Be sure to weigh the cost of shipping your core body versus just paying the core charge.

A centrifugal rotors exist - but Ebay puts them quite expensive at $300 range. Likely your best bet to pick up another B distributor. Usually less than $100 on ebay for a good one. (complete)

The above recommendations good too.

The folks at Renners are top notch. They know that B distributor inside and out. They sell complete rebuild kits or just parts.

Bert's ((800) 321-1931) is probably one of the best Model A suppliers out there from all that I have heard and you should definitely call them. I recommended Renner's Corner ((734) 428-8424) since they specialize in Model B parts and that is what you are looking to find. Just a tip for the Model B distributer. I don't think anyone makes condensers and NOS ones are just too old. Get the best Model A condenser you can find (I think it will be the one that A&L sells, (860) 693-2620). Elongate the hole in the tab on the end so it can be installed in the Model B distributer. Make a short pig tail and attach it to the end of the condenser and run it to the distributer where the original Model B condenser attached.

There was a post on here about 6 months ago that talked about model B dist. running retarded when they first came out thus causing the B engine to run hot .
