[Shop-talk] Sun distributor machiine

[Pat Horne]

Bob, I’ll be watching the replies. I have a tendency to pick up old equipment, then realize that there is newer & better equipment out there that would have been a better purchase, or it is something that I’ve always wanted but in the future I won’t use it enough to make it worthwhile. 

As far as a distributor machine goes, in the 60 years that I’ve played with cars I used one twice & that was in the early 70s. It is generally used when doing bench repair & not something you use during a tuneup-at least that’s how i see it. With distributors being a thing from the past it is probably something that isn’t something that you could sell easily but you never know. 

The decision is yours. If it’s free or cheap & you have the room for it, then pick it up. At a minimum it will be a cool antique while at the best it will be a tool that you don’t have that will be useful. 

Peace,
Pat

Neighbor who's moving has one of these sitting in the corner of his shop (his late father owned it). He's offered it to me, but I don't know much about them and whether they'd be worth the trouble to a) learn how to use it or b) sell it. I do have 2 cars with distributors, but they're running well enough.

Thoughts?

Bob
