Distributor Replacement Referral - Joe's Mopar Distributor Restoration?

[road robert]

Hello Mopar Gurus & Geeks:

Has anyone bought from or had refurb dione by Joe's Mopar Distributor Restoration? I found him by Google search and talked with him this afternoon, seems like a standup guy and can give you what you want (stock, OEM/NOS, custom, points or electronic) complete with vacuum advance module, rotor & cap including a curve according to your setup (engine/trans) and he asked for cam type, vacuum reading and initial timing. For a stock looking replacement for me plug & play $375 + shipping. He does NOT want my old one returned for the core or credit (it does not have a tag not so sure where it came from).

P.S. I see that I have a purple cam from looking down the hole with the distributor removed - any way to tell which one is in there?

*My distributor is worn out - shaft has a lot of vertical movement and horizontal wobble - rotor is hitting cap contacts making a debris field! It ran good from MA to Carlisle then at Carlisle car starting acting up and a bunch of guys looked at it and determined it's end of life. It did get me home, ran poorly then OK on and off...

Thank you!

I have not bought from him, but interfaced with him. I was impressed with his customer service and care to do things right.

Another option would be member HALIFAXHOPS on this site. Good guy, and does quite a bit of distributor work for the FXBO members.

I have seen some of Joe's work. I wasn't impressed. Like lipstick on a pig. Spray it with brake clean and throw some parts at it is what I saw.

Nothing against Joe's distributor restoration. I would recommend @HALIFAXHOPS . Great customer service, active member onFBBO. Easy to get a hold of. You can call or just PM here. Most important he really knows what he is doing. I'm sure many members will agree. Hey Rob do you want to bet on it.

Probably just as good as Bill's dist resto.....

For the price, you can get a dist from Summit for half the price, with adj vac adv with full warranty.
