Apologies, I in no way meant to bash or trash the name, simply spread that word that distributors from them are not something to go for. I have reached out to classic parts with no reply as of yet and I did leave a review of the specific distributor mentioned but said review has not been populated on the web site for reasons unbeknownst to me. It was not an opinion review, just a factual one, and I don't expect CP to comp anything, I don't really want that, just want them to know the super low quality of the units.
Engine is a '64 and yes, the distributor was/is listed for this application during purchase. Part number is the one offered via CP, but from the box, not the website. CP is the vendor for said part. I went in knowing full well a possible lower quality part (tight budgets, etc), but a mere 5k to total failure could never have been imagined. I'm frustrated in the failure and quality of the product, not the supplier, and the lack of my feedback getting anywhere with the supplier pushed me to want to share.
Again, I did not mean for the thread to come off as such, but I can see where my side comment on rubbers may sound as such. This is more so a comment directed industry wide, across Ag, vehicles, and heavy equipment, seals and rubbers seemed to have tanked as of late, regardless of manufacturer, all from firsthand experience.
Yes I know there are better options out there. Yes most of these have been on the radar for a while. Farm finances govern everything though. Wish in one hand, spit in the other, see which one fills faster. All I wanted to do is caution others from possibly going down this road.
