Chinese slant/6 HEI / Ready to Run / sold on ebay Distributor

Nice detailed break down and review.
Or is that breakdown? :D

Some technical reviews of Skip White's cheap HEI distributors.
Highlights include:
The end-play, as out of the box, was 62 thou, a bit much.
After 1,500 highway miles the reluctor stator came loose, the teeth of the rotor then started to make contact with the teeth on the coil pick up.

My observations so far, 'junk'.

ahh yesss, the fabulous Skip White $50 Fake HEI. I can't begin to estimate how many of these chinese junk distributors have been bought, installed and left the car owner stranded on the side of the road on the first drive or soon thereafter.

If my distributor machine could talk.

Some Ming Dynasty distributors have the guaranteed to damage your engine advance curve, no extra charge.
I have seen them come out of the box with absolutely no lube in them, seize the upper bushing and spun it in the housing.

And another brilliant bit of manufacturing reported in this one
