Went a little crazy making tiny distributors.   The question is will I live long enough to use them all?  Picture only shows some of themD8B4F5B5-D2FD-4B75-8AC5-BEDB4AE50A04.thumb.jpeg.8a6b46d85a8297478dc19242c16f553f.jpeg

Guaranteed immortality! You cannot die until everything is used! (make more every few years) Very nice detail work- what carbs are you starting with?

These look great and the leads should be long enough.

Every time I print a block I see something I want to change.  Pretty soon..........

I’ve been having fun printing this stuff.  I don’t have anyone around to share with.   If anyone can use any of this stuff I’d be glad to share.  I’ve got lots of exhausts, carbs, distributors, alternators, blocks and transmissions. Let me know if any of it interests you. 7318256A-7CD7-4E65-8CE2-E8A188D7E972.thumb.jpeg.305e823af927bda560085f26761e0998.jpeg

Man if those distributor's were a little more polished I'd buy. Look like some of the holes are damaged and spaced to far out from the center.  I'm wondering if anyone has ordered from this guy 6 Cylinder Distributor

Pretty much my philosophy for continuing to build my stock of models and stuff for 1:1 projects.

Sorry my work isn't doesn't hold up.   I think that the holes and spacing look pretty perfect to me.   If the holes look off, like the 4 cylinder in the pic, it is because I couldn't hold the brush steady enough.    All the holes are perfectly round and run through top to bottom.   Also realize that these measure from three to five millimeters across and the holes are a little over a third of a millimeter.   These holes are too small for what most detailers use for plug wire.    The wire I use is 0.3 millimeters in diameter.   In 1/24 terms, the four cylinder distributor scales out to 3 inches.   The six cylinder scales out to 4 inches and the 8 cylinder scales to 5 inches.   The wire I use scales out to 3/8 of an inch in diameter.   I haven't seen anything any smaller.    These also have sides with relief for the plug wires, not just a round cylinder.  The drawing shows what it looks like in detail.   Also, I have no interest in selling anything.     I was going to share what I have for free with anyone until I run out.
