WTB: Distributor

  • I need a dual point distributor, rebuilt or rebuildable, for my Mar 65 Kar. Date code range Dec64-Feb65 would work fine.


    I have an earlier one but it is a mite too early. I could use it, but I'd rather get closer to build date (Mar 01 65).


    Any offers out there?


    Thanks,

    rdsieber

  • In response to queries:


    My distributor is a C3OF 12127-D with a date code of 3KB. I suspect that this came from a very late 63 - early 64 HiPo Fairlane. I have seen another example of this dizzy (in person) on a HiPo Fairlane.


    Mine has the manual oil lube cap on the side, and no blocked vacuum adv housing as on the 12127-Fs. Please refer to Bob Mannel's reference book: p 3-49, photo 3H2d, as well as 4-47, photo 4H1


    My distributor is in perfectly restored and show-ready shape. It can be used on a 1964 car; mine is early 65. Waah!


    For some reason, the shaft is too long for a 65 block. Chuck Barbero said he can change this for me if I can't get my local guy to do it.


    I could put it on my Mar 01 car, but the period correct one has a different support housing contour. I'd be interested in a trade to obtain period correct, and can send photos of what I have. Please PM me if interested in a trade and/or if you have what I need.


    If no one has one to trade, I'd still like to buy one! The car won't run without it.


    Thanks for the interest,

  • I spoke with Chuck Barbero of Distributor Dynamics, and he thinks that it could easily have been fit into a 64.5 Kar. These distributors, acc Chuck, were batch-made, and sat around in a bin on the line until a K order rolled through every now and then. So, the date, could ahve been off by as much as several months.

  • Sounds like bull to me as my car is July/Aug 1964 built Hipo and distributor in it is C5 numbered with July 64 date and is original to my car so that story don't ad up...Sorry

    It's takes more than one specific example to make a sweeping generalization, So your comment "...don't add up.."
