The wobble in the shaft on my 100k+ mi distributor is
starting to get to the point where my car misses a
good bit with points installed (though still passable
with the Pertronix installed). However, I think it may
be time for a rebuilt unit.

TRF wants $399 for a rebuilt distributor. Autozone can
supply one (an "A-1 Lucas Distributor part no 31-409")
for $169 + $50 core with a 1 yr warranty.

Has anyone purchased one from Autozone, or can anyone
explain to me why TRF wants more than double their
price? And how difficult/costly is it if I was to
tackle the rebuild myself?

Thanks,

William
