I found a gentleman here locally that restores old distributors but he charges $200 plus points, plugs, condenser, rotor, and cap. But when you get it back, it looks new. His turn around time is 6-8 weeks.

Our car does not have the fuel pump, somebody took out the vacuum pump and put in an electric fuel pump before I bought it. I always believed it to be a '30 30-U but now I am not sure. If I could find the bushings, I would try installing them.

I would love to put new bushings in but was told that is not an easy job even if I knew where to get the bushings.

What is the difference in a 1930 Plymouth U and the 30U? I have a 1930 Plymouth 4 door sedan that is restored and I also have a 1930 Plymouth parts car. The restored one does not have a water pump and has rag discs for universal joints. The parts car does have a water pump. I am not sure what it had for u joints because the transmission and rear end are gone. I believe one has the 629A distributor and the other has the 629E distributor. Are they interchangeable? My distributor in the restored car has a lot of play in the bushings and it is impossible to set the points accurately enough to run decent. Who would sell this distributor? Where can I get one? Thanks for your time with these long winded questions. Karl
