Honda OEM dizzy vs. aftermarket

[Oldblueaccord]

I think its Mr.gasket that sells the advance springs they seem the same I think the Chevy ones work on my Dodge as well.

Any machining give me a shout I can do some things if needed. As far as the ignitor I would let people do there own I think there 80-90$ on rockauto.

Whats the Honda bearing number anyway. Do they have a number on it? Most bearings really are metric anyway. The only ones that really are standard are for electric motor shafts like .500" and 750".

EDIT 2 I saw your number

83805 should be a 6201

SKF 6201 2rs/C3

ID .470-.473

OD 1.260

I got 2 on the shelf actually.

The 2 RS just means seals not shields over the bearing the C# I cant remember at this time. The SKF cat. should have the info.

EDIT:

OK wow the NSK 6201-08VVC3 bearing is .500 ID 1.260" OD

I already ordered the bearings that I mentioned earlier: http://bearingsdirect.com/products/i...48&prevstart=0 So these come with metal shields and the ones that you're talking about come with the rubber seals? Are these 10 mm high as well? I don't think that the seals would matter because it is in a sealed environment anyway. They are rated to 21,000 RPM, I don't think that there will be a problem.

I wonder which combination of the springs would need to be used, maybe I'll get a set and play around with 'em.
For the ignitor, some rebuilders say the ignitor is not included, but you get a used one anyway, probably to cover their ass if it is defective. From what I've heard, a used OEM ignitor is better than the majority of cheap aftermarket ones out there. I would just include a working used one and if they wanted a new one it would be up to them.
There shouldn't be any machining required, but if there is, we'll talk.

Just to be completely pedantic it's 12.5mm ID not 0.500" ID. 12.5mm = 0.4921". Whoever came up with a 12.5mm ID bearing should be flogged. That's SO close to the standard size of 12mm. Why? WHY?!?!?!

I feel better now.

To make you buy a new distributor.

One other issue that hasnt been touched is the vacuum advance unit. It needs to be checked as well I guess.

As far as springs I really could not tell you.

As far as set up a good dial back timing light is really helpful to see where your timing is at what rpm etc.

For myself I cheat I sent a distributor to a place here in town and they set the curve up for me based on my cam and vacuum readings etc using a distributor machine.That was on my 440. I have had thoughts of rigging one up myself using the lath here at work to spin the dizzy but I havent gotten to it.

I have one of those timing lights and the info to check the mechanical advance and the vacuum advance. I haven't got the springs yet, summit wants like $11 for handling on them. Everything else is on order and I have two TEC cores to start with.

From all the posts on this thread, there might be an opportunity for someone to make a couple of bucks and do people a service. I know I'd surely buy a rebuilt here if I knew that someone that cared was handling it. I can't be alone in thinking that way.

[Oldblueaccord]

Summit? should be free shipping. Im looking at the catalog as I write this.

The shipping is free, but there is a handling charge of $10.95. Last time I ordered from them I spent over $300 and the handling charge was also $10.95. I am going to try to find something locally first.

Any update on this ?
