Holley Dustributor

[Roland]

Need parts for a Holley Distributor for an Oliver 1655. Especially the plastic parts and a Diaphragm assy that pulls in at 15lbs. but maybe leaks.

You do know that the vacuum advance only works at an engine idle condition. 30 years ago we blocked the vacuum line and bolted the plastic plate down so it was rigid.

Thanks, now if I could find them little plastic parts. They are trying to sell me a new dustributor for $575.

Put the Mallery new unit in, we did that on our 1650 and what a differance, the are only around 300 or less for a new one.

I kept mine and put an electronic unit in from genesse. replaced most of the parts inside so I was good then plus no points to mess with. But like Mike said MSD dist are only about $300-350 if you shop around.

John, why did you do it that way? In the automotive world that would be wrong. For a vacuum advance on an automotive engine you need "ported" vacuum, not manifold vacuum to get the intended effect of easy starting and part throttle ecomony. I know, cars and tractors aren't the same. I'm just wondering what's different to make that desirable.
