The overhauled ignition distributor is tested on our ignition distributor test bench. Adjustments are made to the weights and/or springs of the centrifugal adjustment until it operates within the factory specifications. The ignition contacts are machined to ensure the correct closing angle in all load and speed ranges. The test results are recorded on an original test report and enclosed with the unit.

We always use original parts, where possible also NOS (new old stock). Where spare parts are no longer available, we produce small batches of spare parts for your distributor ourselves that meet or exceed the manufacturer's specifications. All our distributors meet the manufacturer's specifications (e.g. map) on acceptance.
Yes, we offer corresponding kits for purchase or are happy to install them during an overhaul.
We offer overhaul kits for popular distributors in our online store.
