They ship out of middle TN. I bet you see it pretty quick. Friend of mine just bought one last week. Order off ebay on Saturday and had it Wed I believe. That was to TX. His was for a boat. We put it in yesterday and it performed great.

camjck89 · 06-21-2010, 08:29 PM

i've heard nothing but good things about the skip white dizzy.

trusty72 · 06-21-2010, 10:07 PM

ive heard good things also, but for the price it has to be chinese junk just waiting to fall apart. i just cant make myself do it.

Are you thinking you may find an American made aftermarket HEI?

I got a dist from them a year ago and still no problems. Skip white has a battle going on with another HEI seller and he is determined to be the low price leader on HEI so take advantage of it. There is little difference in HEI dists under $100.

so i got it in the mail today well packaged and Im really satisfied in the condition that its in. i mean no scratches or chipped pieces rough parts. (ive encountered this too many times in the past, a long look over was a priority for me) haven't put it on yet but ill defiantly post how it runs. and about the whole Chinese stuff i have no problem putting it on my vehicle as long as it works and works well. of course the only real brand names come into play for me when its my race car. if it last then hell yea but if it doesn't im only out 52.00$ and thats ok.

Don't forget to read the instructions on teh vacuum advance adjustment. It takes an 1/8" allen I think.

when did you get yours? Mine sure could use a little more vacuum advance for idle quality and I wasn't aware it had that.
edit: mine has got to be the same, got it december. Which way do you turn the screw for more advance? Is it just in the vacuum nipple?

socalkevin68 · 06-21-2010, 10:17 PM

installed mine and it made my engine run so much better ...my timing chain couldnt take it and went byee bye....but after new timing chain...it runs awesome...i ordered mine with some accel wires all for 80 bux.....i'd say excellent dist. so far.

1971_402 · 06-21-2010, 11:31 PM

Isn't Skip whites Dizzy's Procomp Electronics......

1968CHEVYC10 · 06-21-2010, 11:53 PM

I ordered mine on a sat evening, they got to it on monday and I think it came on thursday, and it was fedex. Only driven two miles with it but it's def alot smoother.

BACKYARD88 · 06-25-2010, 04:11 PM

I bought one for DD. The new owner still loves it! I'm all for Chinese junk, that's what my panels are ont he outside

rogergodding · 06-25-2010, 09:04 PM

I have the clear dizzy and the red mini starter from skip white...... no complaints!

weircc · 06-25-2010, 09:16 PM

im running 2 of these no problems what so ever (knock on wood)

trusty72 · 06-25-2010, 10:48 PM

I agree for the price they are all imported. im more concerned on the bushing/shaft life than the electronics, but for the money who cares. I got turned off from chinese parts several years back when a local speed shop started pushing pp huricane intakes instead of edelbrocks. we tried one, opened it up and noticed one intake runner was cast 3/4 of an inch lower than the other 7.

'72customdeluxe · 06-26-2010, 12:15 AM

4500 miles on mine so far, knock on wood

'72customdeluxe · 06-26-2010, 01:30 AM

all the way back out meaning counterclockwise yes?
