Hello all,

Can someone please tell me where I can get a distributor rebuild kit for my 71 442?

 

Are you looking for electrical parts or mechanical parts such as shaft seals and bushings?

 

Looking for the bushings, seals and all the rubber bumpers etc....

 

This is something I found the other day.

That kit is being sold by "Everyday Performance" (a guy named Ken) and he's legit. He is well known in the Buick GS community.

 

That's really good to know. Was wondering if it was of good of quality myself.

 

I think he sources all the parts from various repro parts places that offer the parts. I doubt he's having the parts made himself. I've sourced the same parts for distributor rebuilds and restos I've done but I've had to go to more than one vendor to get ALL the parts. His "package" is part of the value....all in one with ONE low shipping charge. No endless "hunting" around the internet for a source for each part.

If it matters to you, I'll point out one thing.....the longer wire should be BLACK instead of grey. People doing crazy/exact restos may want the original wire color.

 

Ken at Everyday Performance is great for quadrajets, distributors, and parts.

Best after the sale customer service and support.

He is A+ in my experiences with him.

 

Hes also a classic olds member

 

I bought the kit posted above.
It's a very nice kit too.
I would recommend it.

 

My apologies for necroposting, but I did not want to start a new thread on the same topic.

Does anyone know of anyone currently selling this kit? It does not appear on Ken's ebay store.

 

I find a phone call is 110% better that modern electronics. Technology sucks as far as this subject goes.
Just did the same thing with Fusick and Inline Tube. Neither web site have good search engines. All query's came up with nothing. They must be expensive? Called both parts on the way.

 

Beautiful. I'll look up his number and ping him directly. I actually prefer a real phone call anyway.

 

My experience was less rewarding. He quoted me a price of $100 and charged $225. It's too long a story to go into here. I'm sure others have had quality work done, but something went askew with my distributor.
