Review on πŸ”₯ A-Team Performance: High-Performance HEI Distributor for Oldsmobile V8 Engines - 65K Coil, One-Wire Installation, Blue Cap by Nathan Tsugawa

Revainrating 1 out of 5

defective module: valves and parts

I bought this HEI Olds distributor on 2/18/19 and received it on 2/22/19. Installed it the next day and it worked fine until 6/14/19 when the car just stalled on the way home. After towing it home I checked to see if I had fuel, which I did as the clear fuel filter showed fuel consumption and carb gas while pumping. Then I checked for fire at the spark plug and nothing. Then they checked the coil where the resistance of the primary and secondary windings was. Next came the pickup which was also fine as were all the plug wires. The final piece, an ignition module, which I had to take to Autozone, where it was found non-functional on their module tester. So now I know I'm out of the 90 day return policy right now. I contacted the seller and received a canned comment "Great! Thank you for your purchase". This product should last a long time, not just a few days after the 90 day guarantee! A lot of time is wasted trying to figure out what the problem is. Maybe it's worth the extra money to come up with to speak to the locals.

Pros
  • CNC machine, polished aluminum shaft and chromoly gear
Cons
  • Disappears
