After I polish the cam they are usually slick as can be. My therory is that it helps the points break in on the machine without it.. Maybe that's a wrong theory??

Whats your thoughts? I've learned a lot reading what you post on here, and am open to any "why the heck is he doing this" thoughts from you.

Thumbs up Re: Distributor rebuild with pictures and video

In my exhausting efforts to get my car running I bought one of Mike's rebuilt dizzys for my 36 (and several other parts trying to fix my heap ) thru his ebay store, his work is first rate, I've been very impressed w/ all of his items.

Its Great to have resources like Mike, Bubba's, Tubman, and Charlie in NY. Wish we had more younger people following in their foot steps w/quality parts to keep our old cars running.
