Who has tackled rebuilding their own Marelli distributor, and to what level of success?
I can find a few core candidates on eBay and the classifieds. What makes a good core? There are rebuild kits and parts now. I've found a couple videos and tutorials. The mechanical seems reasonable. I have access to a media blaster for cleanup. What I don't have is a Sun machine or way to check the centrifugal advance when I'm done. What are the other pitfalls that make sending one out for restoration a $500+ job? What is the worst case outcome if it's messed up and put on an engine?

I have a Marelli dizzy in a 914 6 that runs very well indeed.
I can site a direct comparison to my long time 6 that has a 911 S dizzy. I don't have any info to offer other than the car was originally serviced in California at Scientific Automotive (?) I would contact Kurt at PartsKlassik. They offer parts and rebuild service. Ask for his opinion and advice. I have no connection to him. |
