I know Bubba is not taking any new work. So is there anyone else that repairs and or rebuilds a 40 helmet distributer? Thanks Jim

Bummer Bubba isn't, hope it's not a trend. Skip did my 36 dizzy.

I can do it.

I know CharlieNY converts Chevy units for the later 8ba style. Don't know if he does earlier ones or not.

If his distributor work is any thing like his carb work its definitely top notch.

I got my distributor back from Charlie a few weeks ago. When I installed it on my '34 roadster it fired right up. It ran it from idle speed in high gear to 65 MPH and it never missed a beat. I've driven it around 60 miles since then. His price was right and the service was quick.

Ken built my helmet for a 40 engine with a happy ending
