Re: has anyone talked to Dave Ray Lately?

What's so special about these distributors? Is he just converting points to electronic ignition? It doesn't take very long to completely rebuild a distributor. They're pretty basic.

Yea right. Like when I was in elementary school, my teacher asked me how I had 6 grandparents. I guess I lost track of my absent excuses.

Re: has anyone talked to Dave Ray Lately?

When someone leaves you hanging with no responses for 6 months, how do you know when you're being ripped off? I don't care how good he is, that's selfish and he won't get my business. Might float his boat, but not mine. He's not the only one in the world who can do great things with distributors. I've never heard of him till this thread. So much for my first impression.

Piss poor customer service any way you look at it... I don't care how good a product he makes.
