Need a recommendation on who can restore a Remy 374A distributor, and can provide cap, rotor and points.

I might be able to help with the parts. Chipper or JYD might be interested in the restoration. Maybe they will weigh in.

Chevy2550,
Does your distributor have a cast iron housing or die-cast? If die-cast a cast iron housing may need to be found as a replacement. Many of the rebuilders or restorers don't have spare parts if any might be needed so my advise is chose wisely. I currently don't have my distributor machine so am not available to help. Skipper (aka JYD) should be able to help.

I have several Sun distributor machines so that is not a problem. However, since I mainly restore Chevrolet distributors from 1929 and up, I don't have any spare parts in stock for a Remy 374A distributor.
