Can any one offer suggestion of what I should ask (value) of a Harmon Collins distributor 1937 to 48. Going to raffle items for club fund raiser.


also value of a KR Wilson timing; 3 bolt and 2 bolt adapter; wood case.
both items great shape.
thanks

HC dizzy goes for around $400-450. Value all depends if the caps & rotors are in good shape.

If "good shape" means "ready to bolt on engine" with new points, caps and rotor, all set up on a Sun machine, I think $800 is not unreasonable.

Totally ready to go and bolt on, I think $800 is fair as well. Very few are offered that way for sale. Bubba could help give some prices on what it takes to get a typical core up to snuff.

A built Harmon Collins to include bendix aircraft points and two bosch coils runs approx $400-450 from us. If it needs a new rotor and side plate could be another $400- to 450 added to the cost....... Buyer beware a used core from a shelf is approx $ 200-250 in my world....

And put me in you auction for $150 for the harmon and collins and $150 for the kr wilson tester just to get the auction going......:>)

H&C made both a standard distributor and a dual coil distributor

What was the advantage of the "standard" HC distributor over a garden variety crab? I have never seen a "standard" HC.
