Skip White distributor
« on: September 05, 2012, 09:32:08 am »
My distributor quit firing so I ordered one of these Skip White distributors the other day. FedEx should deliver it today. I will let y'all know how it works out. I think some guys on here where getting the same ones on eBay with the clear cap. The black cap is $1.00 less than the clear or red cap. I ordered black because mine is a daily driver and not a show queen. They all come with a lifetime warranty.
They were $38.50 on eBay with $10.00 shipping or $49.00 from straight off the Skip White site with free shipping.

Got it in yesterday. Looked good. Dropped it in and set the timing. So far so good.

I know the cap you are talking about. Mine did not come with the one pictured. It just had a plain, ordinary cap. That's OK too. Have you had good luck with yours?
