Bluebell7727 Posted November 23, 2015 Author Report Posted November 23, 2015 Okay one more ? What distributor came in the 1950 dodge coronet 4dr the tag on mine is gone.... Quote
fedoragent Posted December 1, 2015 Report Posted December 1, 2015 FYI, I have one in my car and it works BEAUTIFULLY. I had to call him and ask him EXACTLY what to order...but it is amazing when working. I'd go for it sir. FG. Quote
Andydodge Posted December 1, 2015 Report Posted December 1, 2015 I would thoroughly recommend it, however I have seen where some on this forum have had issues, I had NO problems at all and would recommend it again......andyd Quote
deathbound Posted December 1, 2015 Report Posted December 1, 2015 Same here, using one in my 201, no issues in the 2 years it's been installed. Quote
MacGyver Posted December 1, 2015 Report Posted December 1, 2015 I agree. Have it. Love it. Highly recommend it... And zero problems on all fronts, from ordering, shipping, setup, or usage over the last few years. Quote
mopar_earl Posted December 2, 2015 Report Posted December 2, 2015 I'm leaning towards this option. I found my distributor in bad shape. Bushings shot and breaker plate seized. I had a spare and found it had good bushings but a baldy worn flyweight. So I made one get by distributor from the two. Seems parts are rare and expensive to repair the model I have. An IAT-4011. Unfortunately my car is still 6v so I'd have to convert the car to 12v or find a reliable 6v to 12v convertor that would handle the hei setup. Which I doubt that exists. Earl Quote
deathbound Posted December 2, 2015 Report Posted December 2, 2015 Pertronix has a 6V positive conversion using your stock dizzy. Search "Pertronx" on here and you should get some good info. Quote
mopar_earl Posted December 2, 2015 Report Posted December 2, 2015 Pertronix has a 6V positive conversion using your stock dizzy. Search "Pertronx" on here and you should get some good info.That was my original route till I found my distributor was junk. Going price for the shaft is 125+ and 65+ for the breaker plate. I can't find flyweights or the springs. Also I don't have a test stand to adjust the mechanical advance. That's a lot of money to spend and than spend 130 for the pertronix kit. My get by I made from the two isn't worth dumping money into either. I've been looking for a nos or a good used one but they are rare apparently.Earl Quote
