Re: MSD Distributor rust
Send it back to MSD in El Paso & they'll freshin it up for you.
If you do send it out, check out thier turn around time. Gets busy this time of year. I would also send them the MSD box to check that out as well. Ideally if you can afford to keep a spare box it would be a good idea. Seems they always go out when you need it the most.

Re: MSD Distributor rust
I sent mine for a refresh three years ago. The cost was $75.00. You will receive (basically) a new distributor, cap included.
Chances are, it will not be the same one you send them.
I had a small prick punch on the base ring to help facilitate installation and get me close to base timing. The distributor I received did not have the prick punch.
It is a good deal.

Re: MSD Distributor rust
You can buy all the parts from Summit and do it your self if MSD's turn around is too long. CHange the distributor gear while your at it.

Re: MSD Distributor rust
I did.. and the replacement was a bit different than the one I took off. I think there was an extra slot or something, but they just press off, not a big deal. I just cant remember what I found different.. I think I had to cut a slot in the new one.. have to revisit it..
