I'm needing my 50 Merc dizzy rebuilt (short in inside wire?)
And am wondering if I should have my oem dizzy rebuilt by Bubba or go for the chevy conversation? Merc is mostly stock
Pro and cons ?
Tks, Randy
 
depending on your ability to tune, a Chevy conversion might need tweeking of the advance rate and amount according to what your engine likes best. If you are going to just plug it in and play, IMHO the stock unit would be better for you. A chevy unit would give optimum performance IF you understand how to change it around.
 
I would go with the Chevy conversion, should provide you better performance. The original unit will work fine IF the carb is also original and in good working condition, but still lacks the mechanical advance feature.
 
The original dist works well with the original carb, if both are in proper working order. However, The converted chevy will be somewhat better. Now if in the future you plan on making any mods to the engine , Like dual carbs. The stock dist won't work. plam ahead.
 
Just a note , our chevrolet conversion comes curved with the correct advance for the flathead . No need to adjust or change a thing.

To answer his question , i would use the loadamatic assuming the engine is pretty much stock....
 
Bubba conversion...I love it. At least give him a call and he can walk you through your options. Bubba (Jim Linder) is a class guy and won't just try to pick your pocket. He has been there to answer questions for me about ignitions anytime they came up. Use the link he posted to learn more. http://www.bubbasignition.com/
