Distributor rebuild service needed

I just found out Ed Fall of Vintage Werks has retired from his business and I need a distributor rebuilt. Anyone know of a good shop?

Maybe Sparx Werks? https://www.sparxwerks.com/ Bill Fowler is the owner and a very nice guy.

Thanks for the reply. No phone number to call, I’m old school. I guess I will send a email and see what happens.

I just had John Jenkins restore a 911 distributor for me and he has done several 356 distributors with great results.

I would avoid Partsklassic based on a number of quality and service issues

I agree with no to Partsklassic, quality issues.

I've used Barry Hershon in Michigan, very good, don't know if he has retired yet.

+1 for Jerry Woods Enterprises in Campbell, CA.

Ed, I have used Barry in the past quite a bit. He is good, but slower than slow.

Yes,,,best plan way ahead ;)

After a couple of rebuilds and continued issues I went with a crank fire setup from Richard Clewett. Obviously not what you should do but it does work 100% better, no drift, perfect timing 100% of the time.

A local British shop has a working Sun machine which is a dinosaur. They lean toward the 123 (https://123ignition.com) in restorations these days as worn out wins no awards. The owner is an ex-tool and die maker with a machine shop and he's quite capable of a rebuild but adding reliability is always a good thing with a British car. ;)

I used Barry (https://distributorlab.com/) for rebuilding my very worn out distributor for my 73.5 CIS, he called the shop and told them it was worn out 100k ago!
he also bult a custom curve for it, now pulls smoothly to the red line, no more flat spot. very pleased with the results!

Rick have you contacted Bruce Smith ? He does amazing job on distributors and fuel pumps
