Why would anyone want this when they can buy a clearly inferior electronic unit from Speedway Motors for less than half?:D

There is a price of $15.03 written on the box, I’ll give him $16.00 for it.

Not to brag but I picked up remanufactured by Ford one still in the box for a V12 for twenty bucks awhile back. There still some magic out there. Tim

Yeah, there are still treasures to be found...BUT.....as Kube has pointed out, the (for 32 guys) 32 intake's that's have been cut, plugged and cracked for $299 and up and this particular distributor out shine and out weigh the real bargain finds like yours

The clowns that ask or the clowns that pay?

Sure. He'd probably part out the box for $16. :) A $15 NOS helmet in 1940s cash would be worth about $300.

Only it's not NOS, it's Holley. $300? That too is funny. Not as funny as the $999.99 but funny, nonetheless.

The clown that seeks the clown that'll pay. The clown that actually pays is not one that should be smiling.

There was a post on one of the Facebook sites where a guy needed a distributor rotor for a 1942 Ford 6 cylinder. Guy responds he has one he'll sell him for $40. Michael at Third Gen has NOS ones for $2.95. Pays to do some research sometimes....

Jack, I'm not certain what to make of this posting of yours.
Many folks do not understand what NOS means. EX: The part would have had to been manufactured BY the motor company. In this case Ford. OR, it would have had to been manufactured by a designated / approved supplier of said part to Ford.
In this case, Holley did not supply Ford with distributors. So, it is NOT nos.

Properly described, this part is NORS. In other words, new old replacement stock. IE a part made to fit / replace a stock part but not manufactured by Ford or an approved supplier.

Kube, these kinds of ads are as bad as the folks who list everthing as "rare".

I saw that. Even I know that isn't the real deal. Currently at $670. A little research (bidders) goes a long way to save from big mistakes like this.

Also note that the seller has zero sales!

Looks like 19 bidders have no clue it's a repo and not a good one.
