Scale Modeling by Chris (SMBC) also carry them at the same price. Sometimes they have more color choices. Also excellent delivery.

They're as nice a pre-wired distributor as is out there.

The SMBC magneto is also nice:

Thanks all.

I have purchased from Chris in the past, and agree. Good prices, nice products, and exceptional service.

Just couldn't remember where I saw them. Going there now. :D

I polish 3/32" aluminum tubing to be used as the distributor shaft (about 1/2" long), polish 1/8" aluminum tubing for the distributor cap and super glue to the shaft. Then I cut 8 pieces of distributor wire (Scale Dreams) that are 2" long and 1 piece 1" long (8 for the spark plugs and 1 for the coil). Put some plastic glue in the cap and stick all 9 wires in. Bing, bang, done!

Shoot, if I could do all that, I wouldn't be looking for pre made ones.

Checked out his web site and couldn't get any pricing info.

The pricing is on the page for each of the four individual variations:

PWD-8 Standard Distributor:

All PWD-8 Distributors Are $3.75 & Include Aluminum Base

PWD-8V Standard Distributor with Vacuum Advance:

All PWD-8V Distributors Are $3.75 & Include Aluminum Base

PED-8 Electronic Distributor

All PED-8 Distributors Are $4.00 & Include Aluminum Base

PED-8V Electronic Distributor with Vacuum Advance:

All PED-8V Distributors Are $4.00 & Include Aluminum Base

Unfortunately, as Brian R points out: "Search the forums for Arrowhead before you send your money." There have been complaints about delivery times, communications and refunds. Too bad, they look like mighty pretty pieces!

Bernard! Get yours from Scale Modeling By Chros (SMBC). They're good people, and I've never had an issue with their prices or service! While you're at it, check out their cool little drive-in place. I've bought a lot of items from them, and I've never had an issue with their quality or service.

Thanks all,

Just placed an order with Chris for some distributers and various hook up wires and plumbing parts. I have done buissness with him in the past. His work is nice, prices good, delivery is prompt, and support excellent.

Kris Morgans distributers are the best pre wired I have used. I tried Arrowhead's before, it took 9 months to get them and I thought they were way to big and lacked the sharp detail on the caps.

I placed a big order from Arrowhead and got my stuff a week later. I think he had some medical problems in the past that's why alot of stuff did not go out.

On there website (not ebay) they have a open apology statement, he exsplains everything.

I have ordered from them this past month and got my order flawlessly.

as far as magnetos.. make your own!

i started with 1/16 alum tubing for the shaft, 3/32 over the 1/16 then placed a slightly shorter 1/8th tubing over the 3/32 so i could have a cap, i then drilled a hole with my pinvise, then chucked up the same bit in my drem and hollowed out the hole for the wires to fit.

Yeah, I know. And isn't it great that they're still taking orders when they can't fill one that was paid for ten months ago.
