Chevy/8BA distributors
The demand for sbc distributors converted for use in 8BA flatheads
remains surprisingly strong. For anyone contemplating one of mine I wanted to refresh where I'm at......I'll need a good core Chevy distributor iron or aluminum from '57 to '65 that features the adjusting 'window' in the cap. Inspect the core carefully to be sure the shaft and bushings are in good shape and all small parts are there. The core you send will be the distributor shipped back to you. All mechanical advance....................................$290 sh incl'd Mech adv with add'l 8* vacuum can..................$315 sh incl'd Either type feature new NAPA points, cond, cap and rotor. Set up with 20* mech adv with an adjustable stop for full mech , tunable without removal from the motor. The core must be Delco....the off shore repop casting quality is worse than horrible. No big deal but I've a put little into tooling so now I'm able to build these one or two at a time and not collect 30 orders. Charlie ny |

Re: Chevy/8BA distributors
Well I read what you said about the core. We are currently out of the country till june. I would like one of your modified distributors. However I have no way to obtain a core,were in Mexico.
So if there is anyway you can find or buy one I would of course pay the difference. If not I understand. Will pursue when we return. Just had a thought, I may be in an unchartered territory for finding cores haha. |

Re: Chevy/8BA distributors
Deming,
Ship the Pert at your convenience. Be sure you get the Pert that reads the breaker cam, that does away with the reluctor ring. Take the time to discuss the correct coil to use with the Pert tech guy. There is a Pert that has a rev limiter feature....I think it is Pert #3...... in my opinion this is un-needed. Charlie ny [email protected] |

It's a typo. As long as the Chevy dist core is not HEI and has a the window cap we're good to go. I think my mistake was Delco went to alum from iron in '65 or there abouts. Thanks, Charlie |

Re: Chevy/8BA distributors
In '74, Chevy had HEI in passenger cars and Corvette, but trucks still had the smaller window caps and points.
