The Distributor Doctor rebuilding process

The Distributor Doctor rebuilding process

Initially, please contact us and discuss your requirements.  

  • Each distributor is individually assessed on arrival and email confirmation of safe receipt is sent.
  • If it is incorrect for your vehicle, we will advise you and discuss the options.
  • They are dismantled, thoroughly inspected and then chemically cleaned prior to glass-bead blasting.
  • All ferrous internals are bright zinc-plated as required and the distributor is reassembled with our high quality new components.
  • The distributor is then meticulously calibrated on a bench tester to the required specification. 
  • This often takes considerable time and can only be achieved by small incremental changes to spring lengths and rates.  As each distributor is built on an individual basis, it is often possible to calibrate them with surgical accuracy to much closer tolerances than could be achieved in the original factory mass production environment.
  • The finished distributor is supplied ready to fit; complete with new points, condenser, low-tension connector, high quality rotor arm and cap, in most cases, and a detailed graph plotting the exact curve of the individual distributor.
  • All rebuilds/replacements are guaranteed for three years.
