Born an I-6, spent the teenage, 20 and 30 years as a 302, but at 40 will reach full potential as a 351C.
Situation:
I will be utilizing a 1980's Ford HEI distributor in my 1971 351C. I was very careful to match it up to the original.
I pulled two or three from the boneyard, and would like to have the bearings replaced, whether or not they are needed.
I will probably do the original, then do two more with varying timing curves to play with.
Is there a trusted service BRONZE BEARING REPLACEMENT service provider? Or is this just a typical auto machine shop type of issue. I did have Dave at Dave Don't Give Me No Crap HEI Small Body rebuild one for a 351W, which was outstanding in every regard.
But I think he kicked the bucket. Hoping his wife puts the Snap On Distributor timing machine up for sale on eBay.
The timing curve is another thread.
Thanks.
