unimogjohn Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 I have only heard of a 1928 distributor and drive gear working in a 26/27. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old26Buick Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 I installed a 28 Buick dist in my 27 Buick. I also used the end of a 28 dist. so the gears would be correct. I just got it running but having problems with setting the timing. After I get a new exhaust system I'm going to check to see if the internal advance works. It doesn't seem like it works now but too hard to tell with the noise with no exhaust system. One thing nice about the 28 dist. is that NAPA carrys all the parts for it and cheap compared to 26-27 parts. If it works out well I'll convert my 26 Buick also. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unimogjohn Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Greg, looks to be a 28 Buick cast distributor on ebay now and it is still mounted in the generator so it has the gears you need too. 1928 1929 ?
