Guys,
In the last week I've received many inquiries regarding SBC to 8ba
distributors. I build these gems twice a year...next batch in January '15.
If interested let me know and I'll get you on the list, no deposit no big
deal just so I have an idea.
To be clear I build a good distributor but I'm not Jim Lindner, I
freely tell you when I have an ignition issue I go straight to Jim. Thanks
to him these issues are now pretty much totally resolved.
Gracias amigos,
Charlie ny
 
Charlie , I am new to the flathead and this site , do you make SBC distributors that fit in the flathead ? do you have a link to what you do ?
Thanks

His contact info is in the EF Club's roster as Charles Schwendler in Orchard Park NY. I don't post phone numbers without the permission of the individual.
 
Charlie,

Do you know if there is any difference in converting a Mallory YL series distributor for a SBC rather than a stock SBC? The reason I ask is that Mallory makes a crab-style cap for the YL and I just think they look neater.

The major difference is the size of the cap.
Have converted one from a Unilite made for Chev. and also one from a Mopar Unilite see here---

Oldog,
Among other Flathead mechanical activities.....I do convert sbc dists to 8ba.
Transmissions, banjo rears, carbs, dists and custom machine work etc blah blah blah
occupy my work days

Tubman,
I love those crab cap Mallorys....I sold two sbc crab cap Mallorys converted
to 8ba at Hershey. I grab these when I find them because they are soooo different.
Both of these had mech tach drives. One went to Sweden and one stayed state-
side. Once I convert them they go directly to Bubba for setup and that documenta-
tion stays with them. Converting these type dist is essentially the same as a conven-
tional Delco sbc dist, a couple little nit picky things which you have to keep in mind
but no big deal.

Pete,
Single set of points....tunable without removing from the motor....5000
rpm with no breakup ( the spark is still willing but the motor is out of breath ) what's
not to love ?

I've heard & read many recommendations for Charlie. Spoke with him about a sbc distributor conversion for my Dads 53 Victoria. Put a check in the mail after our talk- looking forward to seeing the improvement in drivability, performance & fuel efficiency with a new dizzy that Charlie's worked his magic on. Will let ya know.
 
Not a problem Charlie , i will help ya any way i can .
I build them in batches and cant for some reason keep up , behind on orders again right now and have another dozen at the machine shop down the street.!!
 
I've got a carb from Charlie and a Chevy Dizzy from Bubba. Both good guys to deal with and quality stuff.
