Help. I need to know where to order a new disty for my 83' gl wagon (frontwheel drive). I looked online at RockAuto, but 4 different ones came up on the search, and I couldn't really tell which one I need.

 

I had thought from an earlier post this past summer that a person could re-build a disty with a new precision bearing, but that does not appear to be the case after I have taken it apart.

 

I just don't want to order one, wait 4 days and then get the wrong one. Any suggestions.

 

thanks for the help.

For the price of them, you should send your's here and have it rebuilt:

The bearings can be replaced, but the older units have to be done by a machince shop. The post you are speaking of is talking about the fuel injection crank angle distributor, which can be done much easier. You can swap over to the fuel injection and use that FI distributor too - cost would be about the same as a new disty for the carb.
