Delco Remy Distributor Rebuild Service

Anyone out there have a recommendation for reliable rebuild service on a Delco Remy Distributor. It's off my 67 225 Doubtfire? Sent mine off to the Jeepster Man, but apparently their rebuild guy has retired. Prefer an original/rebuild vice upgrading.

Thanks

 

I can recommend Jeff Schlemmer at Advanced Distributors. Jeff rebuilds Delcos, and did a fantastic job on the original one in my 225.

Here's a photo of it after his rebuild:

 

There's not many pieces to them. Easy enough to drive the roll pin out and disassembly and repair.

 

Thanks for the info. @Maury..what did he hit you for on the rebuild, just for a reference if you please.

Isn't this a F134 distributor? If you have a Delco, for the 225, I would expect the rebuilder to replace the shaft bushings in the distributor body. This is not something that an owner could handle.

A1-Cardone also provides rebuild service. Would be an alternative to the rebuilder suggested above.

The photos are from a Prestolite out of a 69 225. I was just pointing out that there's not too many pieces under the cap.

 

It's been awhile, but I believe the cost of the rebuild was in the $225-250 range when he did one for me (plus return postage, which was $12-15 I think).

Just FYI, in his rebuilds, along with replacing the shaft bushings, Jeff installs new advance springs, which (according to him) enhances engine performance by improving the advance curve. The timing also needs to be set several degrees differently from the original as a result. All I can say is that my 225 runs extremely well with Jeff's rebuilt distributor.

From his website:

Recurve!!! This is our true specialty! to “recurve” a distributor is to get the timing exactly correct at every single rpm possible, not just at idle. This allows your engine to rev freely through its RPM range much faster and more efficiently than ever before. This is done in many ways, most frequently by replacing the advance springs with our custom designed springs, and changing the amount of total timing. Here’s a pic of a very small portion of our inventory – some properly prepared 25D weights, DM2 weights, and a few of our most popular advance springs (over 2000 springs in those little containers!) We use the industry standard Sun 400, 404, 504, 680, and MDT distributor machines, and keep a Snap-On Distrib-U-Scope as a backup!​

 

Can someone explain why the shaft bushings are so hard to replace? Do they have to be reamed out?
