Homemade wired distributors

[SCRWDRVR]

I made a wired distributor out of some 1/8 tube and proper size wire, do you all think it looks acceptable?

Close enough! Here are a few I made fairly quickly.

I like it, seems to me it's a lot cheaper than buying them...

Someone send me a couple and I'll use them and tell you what I think ?

I’ve made some the same way.. 1/8 aluminum tubing. I glue a straight pin into the bottom for mounting on the engine. Truth is that a lot of distributors mount in a place where you can’t see much of it anyway, so I don’t go crazy with nine holes and proper firing order.

Looks as good as some you buy.

I have to agree with that. Get it back under the aircleaner and no one knows. Placement and lie of the wires being more important to convincing ignition set up.

Thanks guys, that’s the kind of answers I was hoping to get...

I like it. Basically the same thing I do when I make my own. Close enough for my tastes.
