Bob, Iâ??ll be watching the replies. I have a tendency to pick up old
equipment, then realize that there is newer & better equipment out there that
would have been a better purchase, or it is something that Iâ??ve always wanted
but in the future I wonâ??t use it enough to make it worthwhile.
As far as a distributor machine goes, in the 60 years that Iâ??ve played with
cars I used one twice & that was in the early 70s. It is generally used when
doing bench repair & not something you use during a tuneup-at least thatâ??s
how i see it. With distributors being a thing from the past it is probably
something that isnâ??t something that you could sell easily but you never know.
The decision is yours. If itâ??s free or cheap & you have the room for it, then
pick it up. At a minimum it will be a cool antique while at the best it will be
a tool that you donâ??t have that will be useful.
Peace,
Pat

Neighbor who's moving has one of these sitting in the corner of his shop
(his late father owned it). He's offered it to me, but I don't know much about
them and whether they'd be worth the trouble to a) learn how to use it or b)
sell it. I do have 2 cars with distributors, but they're running well enough.
Thoughts?
Bob
