Default Re: helmet distributor

Bob it’s been five years years since I’ve used one on a helmet and I should have stated that from the get go. Back then I called and explained both issues give a “gee you are the first to complain” response.

Maybe they have since fixed the issues, but in the past year I have at least five sent In to the shop to convert back to points due to failure. Not sure how old each unit was though.

I personally think on the early flatheads were the distributor mounts to the front of the wngine, the my absorb a lot of heat and that may be the issue. As for strombergs electronic distributor though, I personally haven’t seen a failure out of those yet.
