    That would look real good in the Corvette. My question though is where do the replacement parts come from? Caps, rotors, points etc....

  6. Quote from an old post:

    "The rotofaze uses two coils and separate points they are 4 banger type points
    when I had the kookie car I had to learn alot on how to use and set the rotofaze.I also learned that when one set of points go`s out you only have one side of you motor working,so your 8 cyclender turns into a 4 cycelender.
    Also finding points was hard I found out ol willies jeep cap rotor and points worked .but that was then I don`t know if you can find that stuff as easy anymore lol.Hope that helps if you get one I`ll try to help....................

    Not real rare but I bought this NOS Delco single point distributor for my 327/350 h.p. in the 80's at the Eugene Swap Meet, came from GM with the cap and rotor installed, the application on the box said it was for 64-67.

    Got this GM plug wire set about the same time, ordered from the local Chevy dealer.

    It is a generic service replacement distributor.
    I paid $75.00 for it in the mid 80's, if it was application specific to a 327/350 h.p. it would have been big $$$ even back then.

  19. Do the W&H Ducoils actually use 2 coils when installed?
    Your collection is impressive.

    Moriarty, the only Roto Faze I won is my 3 phase converter for my shop. It puts out a lot of spark too.

    He just wants it for his Corvette. Better measure twice.
