Harmon Collins Rotors ?????

Got it.(The pm), shipped it, been awhile so I guess it arrived :cool:

So, I got an order for ONE centercap the other day -- out of the blue, and found only TWO usable , inspected them adding the epoxy to ensure no problems but it got real serious real fast.

Only ONE centercap left. Thought I'd share this with the community.
 
Can we please post some information on this thread, if anyone has any manuals/bulletins/service information on how to set up one of these distributors that would be great!
 
Refer to old post # 198 Still looking for feedback on these "Reproduction H & C parts from "DzusFast" If you have installed these on your Ole Ford and are driving it, let me know the results. ( Good or Bad ) I'm watching and listening. !!
 
I HAVE A COUPLE OF HARMEN & COLLINS DUAL COIL DISTRIBUTORS THAT i BOUGHT 25 TO 30 YEARS AGO. i AM NOT GOING TO USE BOTH OF THEM, i HAVE NO IDEA OF THERE VALUE TODAY. i WANT TO KEEP ONE AS A SPARE. STAN .( PS THEY ARE NEW IN THE BOX.)
 
Stan 2 decent used units have sold on eBay in the last week. It’s all in how they are listed. One said Ford only not Ford flathead. It brought $177 the other was listed much better it brought I believe $567. Both about same condition. I have 3 nice units with new points. An expensive item. I would love a NOS unit but I also need to stop buying. I have waaaaayyyyy to much fun flatty stuff.
Cheers

You and I have a sickness for magnetos and ignitions . . . we need to get THAT cured soon! LOL
 
KiWinUS, Thought I would reply.The units that I have were purchased in the late 80s . At that time they were very hard to find. if my memory serves me I think I paid 600/700 each for them. And that was a long time ago. I am using one in a 34 and plan on keeping a backup. I have a question they were very popular in the 50s and into the 60s. Over that many years should I be concerned about the condensers? Thanks Stan White
 
Stan you are very fortunate to still have these. Yes condensers could have deteriorated with age. Also points oxidized & corroded. Grease they are lubed with gone hard or melted away from where it needs to by. I would strongly suggest having them “freshened” up
Cheers
Tony
