Effective 06/10/2021: In 2016 Bosch has discontinued the kits used to rebuild their distributors. So I purchased as many genuine kits I could find. Now my supply is getting low and i'm not sure how long before I run out. Once they are gone... they are gone. So if you want your distributor rebuilt, to as new condition, please contact me first to make sure I still have genune kits in stock.

Effective 12/28/2022: I'm down to my last 5 kits

Effective 02/23/2023: All of my remaining Bosch rebuild kits have been used and i have no others. So as of now, I will not be taking on any additional rebuilds.

It's been a good run but it looks like it's over.

Thanks to all the people that have trusted me with their distributors.
