I guess I worded this wrong.My intention was to see if anyone was rebushing and selling these dist.I really was fishing for info so I could set a fair price for the whole lot.Should I have put this in general to get price input?

I rebuild them but to tell the truth they require more labor then I can sell them for. I find them at swap meets for $20-35 but they are junk. I have to machine up bushings, then fit them to the shafts which are usually worn out so you need new gears and shaft by the time I get them done you can buy a new distributor. Add to that the supply of cross gears and shafts hasn't been too good.

These distributors were all removed and replaced because it was cheaper than fixing them.Some have bad bushings-Some have broken tach gears-Some have wobbly breaker plates-Some have all of the above.These distributors are basicly housings that need reconditoned or rebuilt.
