I have a HC that is complete. The internal ring has a little tit that positions the cap in the correct place. That tit is pretty much worn off do to poor removal and replacement technique.

Can that tit be built up with epoxy or liquid steel.

I had a browse around your various projects, Bill, very interesting stuff. I do remember some of it, but it was nice to visit again.

I have the H.C. distributor that was on my 32 whan I bought it in 1970 and drove it home after sitting for quite a spell. Ran great enough to take a c\Chevy at the lights and driver looked amazed! Walt just finished my engine with a crab-- so I am watching this post with interest. Showed
WALT the H.C. and he thought it looked O.K. . Will send to Bubba when new roters are checked out even though my present one looks O.K. Kerk

Just what is a HC dist,all this talk and I'm not familiar with them,do I need one on my 35'. What were they used on to start with ???

[Terry,OH]

Don: The HC is a Harman Collins dual coil distributor made by that company to replace the Ford 42-48 distributor, that uses one coil. No you do not need one for any of the Fords. It is more of a Hot Rod, high performance, part.

Nice to see people like Bill in our Hobby.

Sorry this took so long but i got the rotor in a customers unit this morning and took it for a spin.

The rotor fits like a glove and seems to work just fine!!! Nice product !!

Well, I'm scurrying about now trying to get them done by the end of this year. This week I have some more little 'mods' to do on the mold then I can start production. Sorry for keeping you Gentlemen waiting. Might throw up some pictures of the process, some of you might be curious as to how its done.

Same here...

I would be interested in seeing those pictures.

Especially how the carbon brush gets installed.

This is the mold I've made. I will post more later, just felt bad giving you guys a 'teatse then not posting .

Currently modifying the top collar's height due to some people actually having to "sand" down so it doesn't rub on the inside of the cap. Also, the rivits need to be made.... the ones I used before I'm not happy with. I want to build a rotor that won't have any issues down the road ....

[NealinCA]

Thanks for posting. Very impressive! We have been without rotors for so long, it's great to see this project in the works with light at the end of the tunnel.
