Great price Sam!

as I recall, they are a chinese import. Make sure to check it before installing and also reuse your old dizzy gear.

I think the knock offs being sold on E-Bay were the bad ones
Hell, just go to Summit and get a Mallory for $70 more and get a FAR better unit.

I think that is similar to the one i used. But i failed to reuse my old gear and payed.......

I found one from another source on ebay, went to their website to save a couple of bucks on shipping, installed it, went to Moab, works great. Starts much more easily, no more points getting eaten up.

Good luck! Mine came with an american-made gear, whatever that means. Some have had gear problems, but I didn't.

Summit has it for $179 and BJ's has it for $15 less.

I just put one in my truck last weekend. I ordered one from BJ's after waiting over 3 weeks for 4WD.com to ship. I contacted them after 3 weeks and they told me it was going to be another 3 weeks while they wait for their supplier. Contacted BJ's they had them in stock and I had it in my hands a week later for only a few dollars more. I couldn't understand why if 4WD's were on back order they could'nt contact me and let me know, I had to call them. I quickly cancelled my order, contacted BJ's, and I was good to go.
Oh yea, install was pretty straightforward, drilling the hole in the shaft for the dist. drive gear sucked, dropped it in and it was good to go.

They have beat the Summit prices on everything I've asked for a quote on including parts that have hyper competitive pricing like Edelbrock valve covers. I should mention that the $15 BJ's advantage included the IFSJA discount.

[billyrb]

also, if there is something you see on Summit that you want, contact us and we can probably get it.....and we can usually beat their price (or at least match it)

[Sambo]

i'll look for the "made in china" stamp...
i already knew about the dizzy gear;)

[billyrb]

Sam, still got that Klune if'n yer wifey will give the ok ;)

[eyotajeeper]

I just put one of the ones from 4wd hardware into my '71 J4000 with a 304 about a month ago. then about a week ago the thing started popping and banging then died . Towed it home, but haven't had a chance to check it out yet.
Wonder if it is the dist. gear shelled? never thought about changing that

Paid $149 for mine.:banghead:

[orangecherokee]

Got mine from Bulltear and it's worth every penny. My truck runs like a dream now :cool:

[Sambo]

ryan i would love to give it a good home.;) but with the wifey expecting kido #3 around the end of july,i have to be a good boy and watch what i spend:o

[02sunsetz28]

whats the diff between the Mallory & Proform...other than 60bucks ?

[Sambo]

welp i tore this thing apart looking for a "made in china" sticker and to my surprise there aint one!

looks to be good quality parts:cool:

[JERSEY JOE]

I got mine from BULLTEAR. Much better quality than the ebay stuff.

It's my understanding that from all the issues with Chinese made HEI Dizzy's and Timing Chain Covers, MC inspects each unit shipped.
So, if this is true, how much better can it get when a Master Machinist kicks the tires of the products he sells to make sure they are right!

[kenny kustom]

Got mine from BJ's. Great price and above par service. Had it quick.

Here's the link to my original install.

Sambo, we're currently at two......I told my wife that once we figure out what's causing them, we're putting a stop to it! ;)

I bought an HEI dizzy off of EBAY from QTIP43. It's an original GM dizzy from a 250ci I6 with all new parts and an AMC gear installed. Drop in install. Works great! $139. Although you have to wait 10 days for the auction to end and pay $15 shipping.

[Sambo]

well with the new dizzy the jeep has great responce! today i am going ot open up the gaps on the sparkplugs and go run the heck out of it!:D

I bought one on Ebay several months back for my CJ project. It's all new parts from top to bottom. I installed it last weekend in the Cherokee since curiousity was getting the best of me. It made a world of difference in the way the truck runs. Funny thing is I didn't buy it for the performance part instead I got it because it was shiney. :D

LOL Man you're too much! :lol:

Hey, does anyone here know if they have any rotational play in the distributor shaft once it's installed? I have a little bit but performance and idle haven't suffered. I don't want my gears to grenade one day...

[Sambo]

ya know its funny scott mentioned the shiney parts(and yes they are) but performance was more than expected!;)

after alot of compareing this thing,its looks just like the mallory dizzy one of my buddys has in his blazer! same cover,cap,and the base is real similar too!
