What distributor would be best to use for my build? I am building a 2.7l using JE 9.5:1 Pistons, E- cams and carbs. Simple is good for me. My car is going to be used for spirited street driving.

I built essentially the same motor but used mod S cams from dougherty. I was able to find a 2.7RS distributor. the combination works quite well. I will try to find bosch numbers if you like otherwise have yours recurved.

1/ Get the stock dizzy rebuilt and re-curved.
2/ Build a megajolt jr. (Ford EDIS) 3/ Get a MS and run ignition only. This one gives you the option to run FI in the future. 4/ Clewett Engineering has a crankfire ignition system. One option that won't work is locking out the dizzy advance and running the MSD programmable, the 911 cap and rotor doesn't have long enough legs to keep it in phase. |

Isn't the shaft a different size for an aluminum case early distributor? (67s) vs a 7R dist. shaft

The early distributors will not fit into the later 7R case. I built a similar engine, my stock dist. is going out to Woods for recurve.

Although prices will vary
Anyone care to throw a rough cost number out? Also curious about the recurve costs, even if its a range? |

It could be an easy fix for little money or a bigger issue for more money. Always watch out for people that price before seeing any porsche part in person and seeing what it really needs. |

Looking for a general idea on price. I know that no one can tell me an exact price. Am I looking around $100, $500, $1000, $1000000?

Has anyone ever tired one of these distributors? Cost about $750. I currently do not have a distributor that will fit in my car so I would have to buy a core, rebuild it and then have it recurved. I would probably be close to (or more) to $750.

I've heard the 123 ignitions are just to replace a stock-ish curve.
With a hot rodded non-factory engine a recurve from someone that knows your specs or a custom crank-fire setup would be best. |

I have one out of a running car for $250 + ship. Boss said its the right one for your car. If you buy it and for whatever reason don't want it, you can return it. Mark
