I've got a stock 2.0L distributor that is in need of rebuilding/refurbishing. I've looked through the vendor forum and didn't see anyone offering this service. Can anyone recommend someone to do this job?

Ernie .... why do you think it needs rebuilding / refurbishing?

If it's sticky, you can use a can of carb cleaner and get the gunk out of the housing. The top plate (point plate) will come out with a couple of screws and expose the lower advance assembly.

The rebuild of a dizzy is really limited to replacing the bushing in the housing, if and only if the points cam moves side to side a bunch. They will primarily clean / lube them and replace the points / condenser. They may replace the advance springs & vacuum can. They will not replace the trigger points unless they are broken / bad and that would be at extra cost (if they are still available).

MotoParts as shown
VAPEX in Gardena, CA
A-1 Cardone - Philadelphia (usually this is what you get when you go to a local FlAPS)
HiTest in Anaheim, CA
Margus in Los Angeles
Rotex in Gardena (not sure they do distributors)

I would have to check on Monday if anyone in AZ (mainly Phoenix) is rebuilding distributors
