Hubert_25-25 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 The United Motors Catalog calls the following as separate distributors. 1923 6 cyl 1924 & 1925 6 cyl 1926 & 1927 6 cyl I know that the 1925 is pot metal. It sounds like your 1927 is pot metal. I am not sure of the differences, but I know people that use the 1923 because it is all steel and not potmetal, so they last. I understand that you may be able to retrofit a newer distributor. These do not need the expensive rotor and cap. I don't know the specifics.

1940_Buick Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 As a temporary fix, you can cut down a 1940's Chevy distributor. I know it works for the Standard 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old buicks Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 airbrush, I have a potmetal distributor out of a 24 or a 25 that is in good shape. I also have several distributors out of 28 Buicks. They are cast iron and use a different point set, dist cap and rotor. P email me and we can talk and I can give you prices. tsvanmeet@gmail.com or 402-359-5762 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best to contact him directly for a quote with the info he has supplied. Most of these specialty vendors do not constantly check the forum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1927 pot metal distributor is not the way to go. I highly recommend you go with the 1928 cast iron distributor Delco Remy 640A. The cast iron distributor will give you many years of trouble free service. When its time for a tune up you can get the parts at your local NAPA store. The cast iron Delco Remy 640A distributor completely rebuilt and restored all set up for your Buick including all parts [i.e. distributor cap, rotor, points, condenser and all other necessary parts] guaranteed for 2 years. COST $325.00 Plus Sipping [no core charge]. Best Regards, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
