I know Frank Badalson used to advertise that he restored them, but a friend of mine completely restored his cast iron dual point unit and said it wasn't hard and I'll have him look over my shoulder when I do my cast iron dual point...but I recurved my MP electronic distributor 20 years ago and then did my friends, wasn't hard, just need a large, clean work area for all the small parts. I think mopar muscle had a step by step breakdown on a how too a few years ago. Another friend of mine did the Pertronix conversion to his GS Stage 1 distributor - no problem

The Prestolites are easy to do.

I had Advanced Distributors do mine and am very happy. Jeff has the tools and knowledge to set your distributor up right based on your engine. Stock, massaged or race I think you would be very happy with the end result.
What was I thinking....

Brian Brady at Crossram Connection does a fantastic job and has done a few for me. 262-271-6666 
Brady's work is nice but for what it takes I think his price is a little on the high side,I've done a lot and just can't see the justification.
