Almost found a dizzy.

[hey mister]

Hit the candy store and walked the "returns" isles.
Found a dizzy with the HEI coil on top. My heart skipped a couple beats. Scanned the qr code. It said Gen1 small block Chevy. Took it to the tech counter to double check. It had a bronze gear which I though was ok, but when he say it he said it was for a roller cam shaft...Buggers...so close.
Original pricewas $310, marked down to $60.
Oh well...keep looking.

Change out the gear that's the difference. Why do you think it was better than the HEI you have,it may not have been better,may not have been as good. What was it?

If it was originally 310 and marked down to 60, that sucker would have come home with me, even if I didn't have a use for it right then. I believe @Catbox would have done the same.

 

[hey mister]

My dizzy is original with about 100,k.
I have not had any issues with it.
But my line of thinking is this. If I can find a replacement component for 1/4 of the normal cost, buy it. If I never need it...great, the part will ad value when the truck is sold.

The one I was looking at was an older MSD and it had been on a shelf, in the back somewhere.
I could of drift the roll pin out and swapped out the gear...no big deal. There are better options. Besides they are always putting out parts on the shelf. 5 dizzys were there yesterday. 4 water pumps, half dozen alts. and diffs...ect.
