Default rebuilding msd distributors

Can you send MSD your old 8274 billet distributors for rebuild and if so how much?

Yes you can. I want to say its around 100-125 bucks? But, i think you can get the reluctor wheel, pickup, and advance weight spring kits for about 60 bucks for each distributor. Plan to do mine before spring myself. Mine were working good, but the reluctor wheel and pickup look like they came out of a 1950's vehicle that was sitting outside on a farm with all the rust on them.

you can do it your self,the pick up is around 28 bucks and all you have to do is get some crushed walnut shells and put some in a portable hand held sandblaster..i do them all the time..i paint the reluctor then sand the edges flat and set the air gap..

After my last rebuild a few years ago, the MSD tech told me to spray the wheel and pickup lightly with CRC SP-400. It's a corrosion inhibitor and lasts a long time, but the paint idea sounds even better!

The CRC product works well! Mine lasted five years and were still nice when I sold them. I would spray them in the spring and fall and wipe excess off. Had to order it from Grainger. I think doing this would make life easier for all.
