    S.F. Bay Area distributor machine needed

    Want to take dizzy to a competent shop to spin it up and check the curve, etc. Anyone know a qualified shop in the S.F. Bay Area with a machine who can do this? Thx

    I'm pretty sure that John at Valhalla Automotive in Lafayette has a working distributor machine. He is a very experienced Porsche Mechanic, as well.

    Ciao

    Pretty sure he's Curt's brother.

    edit,,, John??? Might have my names mixed up. Might see Curt tomorrow, I'll ask. I know Curt's brother is heavily in racing and has a shop of some sort in the Southwest.
