Marelli Re-build Kit

Given the rising cost & scarcity a of a Bosch compatible distributor for a 2.2L (1970) engine;
is the re-build kit offered by "Partsklassik" for a Marelli S112BX a viable alternative?
Does anyone have any experience with this kit?

I have searched for the 'normally recommended' Bosch substitute but am facing a rather large
purchase price of a used unit which will not include added costs of shipping, refurbishment
& possibly any machining necessary for the conversion.

I also face a double whammy in that I pay in 'canuck bucks' plus the usual
ridiculous shipping & tax charges we incur north of the 49th. The Marelli I
currently have seems in reasonable & re-buildable condition & the kit in
question may/should suffice.

Any advice or recommendations will be appreciated. Thanks in advance

Cheers
JB

Contact PartsKlassik. They can rebuild yours, send you a replacement or send you the Kit. Now that they have made replacement parts available for Marelli distributors, they are a very viable alternative. They really arent an "alternative", though. They are what the car came with.

I'll second Jim,,,P.K. rebuilds worked fine in customer cars.

Thank you kindly Gents - this is the road I will probably take.
