Plug and play distributor

Just trying to help you out..... I guess that either there is something wrong with the shaft or housing you now have that makes your old one unrepairable, or it's already not a stock unit that parts can be had for, or some people just like spending..... The older I get, the more crap that comes from overseas, the more I get told "buy a Chevy, nothing available for Mopar", the further that technology " advances" (yeah right ) beyond what I currently have, the more I would rather work with what I have. Yeah there are situations where it isn't possible or even feasible, and I get that. But to replace something that is usually fixable, just for the sake of replacing it makes less sense all the time.
It's not that it's not repairable, it's that it's easier to start a build with a clean slate with good parts. Im replacing parts that I relay on because short of a crystal ball I have no way of telling how good these parts were when they were installed, much less how they aged. Sometimes the best thing to do it start fresh with something that has been tested.
