Default Thanks Third Generation Automotive!!!

I have been using the new Crab Distributor plate and had ran out, Mike didnt have any more. He mailed me last week as he had found a new supply.
What a time saver , comes with new bushing and spring contact. I use the Napa Echlin contact set , works great but requires some alignment on the drivers side set .....

Thanks Jim! I have on a couple of them, had to peen the edge of the plate opposite of the wire terminal, as some of them are slightly too small OD and the wire ternimal was pushing it over slightly. A quick peen with a chisel and all is well.

PS I am having a small batch of the plate bushings only made and I'll mail you up a few so you can fix the worn originals you have..

It's great to see our good suppliers/dealers working together for the common cause of keeping "us, ....their customers", happy. This type of thing is a "win/win" for all of us!!

Jim,
I remember that well, and it is hard to believe that was 8 years ago. While I'm just a very small vendor, what I like about this hobby is that many vendors work together and Don't consider each other competition but rather a support group.When the V-8 Club has over 7,000 members there is plenty of business to spread out among all the great suppliers we have.
