New England area automotive shop help
Any of you New England area Fordbarn members know of a automotive shop that has the old type, (for example a ,Sun) distributor machine, that can setup the advance curve on a 1970's distributor with just a mechanical advance ? I am located on the South Shore of Mass. Thank you.

Thank you. Charlie NY was the first person I contacted. He does not have a distributor machine. Will try Don's. Any other closer ideas than CT ? Thank you.

Don passed away several years ago. His son Paul runs the business now. Real nice guy and recurved a 409 Chevy distributor for me about 4 years ago. It has never given me a problem.
