Re: Jim Linder
I've chatted with him recently on email. It usually takes a day for him to return. I did read he was taking vacation, doctors orders.

Re: Jim Linder
Hey Guys, I am usually on the Model A forum, but now have a 21 stud on the stand, so looking at both forums. I have the misfortune to be ready to test drive my car after a 2 1/2 year build, but my distributor is with Jim. I don't have a plan B, but looks like I'm going to have to buy another dizzy to get on the road. I have communicated with Jim over the 3 months since he received it, I know he has been sick and communication is not his strong suit to begin with. I work in the medical field and know how serious his health needs to be taken. That being said, I would hope he suspends all new orders, gets his health in order, finish the jobs on the bench and after a sabbatical decide where to go with the business.

Re: Jim Linder
Good on you Russ. I agree lack of a distributor should not stop progress on any Flathead project. Plan B is a substitute sparkerator, they are one of the most available assemblies in my experience.

Re: Jim Linder
Jim,
Praying that the Lord guide your doctors, fills you with His peace and brings you back to good health. Sometimes God has a way of getting us to slow down. Brother, your health is what's important, the rest is just "stuff". Chap |

Re: Jim Linder
Thanks for the generous offer Russ. My distributor is an early cast iron Mallory for my 4 banger. Yes, it would be so much easier if i had the flathead in it! I had a nice B distributor, but it went in a trade for other parts...kicking myself over that one, but LARS is this weekend so I think I will find something out there, I need a back up in any case. Again, thank you for the offer.

Re: Jim Linder
In the same situation as Nosetime. Let's hope Jim gets healthy. In the mean time all we can do is wait.

Re: Jim Linder
@LQQKer sorry to hear that. I guess I was feeling a little better after he cashed my check on April 12th a month after he received it. I assumed that to mean I would be seeing it shortly after that. Hope we both get squared away soon. I do have to say at this point surely there is someone who can reach out to his customers on his behalf with an update?

Re: Jim Linder
When I first heard of his type of problem, I felt it was big trouble for him. Those type of toxic ailments can cause irreversible consequences. Pray that not be his fate.
