leomara Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 With thousands if not more of these Delco Remy 6 cylinder distributors having been made you would think that a few of these tools must be around. Not so. I can't even find mention of one on the internet. Please, someone surprise me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1912Staver Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Looks like quite an odd distributor. What were they used on ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edinmass Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Why bother. Put it on the Sun distributor tester. It’s more accurate and you can test it while it’s operating. You can also check the centrifugal Advance at the same time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I counted four different top lids used on 824987 (for different firing orders, cw and ccw rotation). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1912Staver Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Thanks for the information Peter. Lots of cars , and a few trucks. But most are machines I have never been in contact with. A few bread and butter machines , but most are what I would consider somewhat exotic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1937-44 Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 It would seem most if not all of those Delco synchronizing tools are scarce. I searched for years for one and finally found one but unfortunately it wouldn't work on my distributor. I eventually sold it to a Marmon owner. You will have better luck finding a Weidenhoff, Winn or similar point synchronizing tool. In the meantime you can adjust them fairly accurately by fabricating a crude gauge with a protractor. paper clip and old rotor. Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldtech Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 I'm with Ed. Likely easier to find someone with a sun machine than one of those. Check with local clubs maybe. (Our car club has one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leomara Posted October 21, 2022 Author Share Posted October 21, 2022 Hey edinmass, thank you for your offer. I was able to find someone with a machine. Now I have to get my distributor back, (another long story). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
