I have a lot of play (in every direction) in my 71’s twin point dizzy……which may explain my carb backfire issues (hopefully). Did a quick search on HEI tach drive dizzy’s and there seems to be a huge variation in price.
Has anyone purchased a replacement or have any opinions on the ones out there. I’m not going to spend $450 as some of the top end priced ones are but saw this at Ecklers - http://www.ecklerscorvette.com/corvette-hei-distributor-conversion-1962-1975.html (http://www.ecklerscorvette.com/corvette-hei-distributor-conversion-1962-1975.html)

Any suggestions?

hmmm $450+ for the dizzy and $280 for the controller...... I would hope it works great! Bit out of my range.

I have not rebuilt a distributor for a long time but I would think you would be able to get a set of bushes for the dissy and get it back to good running order

I do like the MSD dissy and controller with the added advantage of a rev limiter

You are right but I'd rather burn a twin point dizzy!! :wink:
Your setup is ideal but I'm not prepared to spend that much on a car I unfortunately do not drive enough! :tears:
I'll prob go with the Winners Circle one but with all the cheap ones out there I am unsure if they are Chinese built or not.

I was never keen on twin points distributors
I could not see the advantage in 8 lob versions and the
4 lob variety worked to a degree butt were a pain in the rear to keep the timing correct.
