Hi Friends,

My '53 TD's XPAG has unstable ignition timing. Its the kind of
instability caused by worn distributor bits (advance mechanism,
bushings, etc.). Static timing is set to TDC but it bounces around
quite a lot at idle. My TR3 had exactly the same problem and a new
distributor made it rock solid - the timing AND the idle.

Is there a distributor rebuild service that you recommend? Moss has a
replacement for $470 but its an upgrade, not a one-for-one
replacement. I don't want to go there AND I don't have the skills or
tools to rebuild my distributor.

Please help.
