Default sun distributor and rochester carb manual

If anyone is interested in the San Francisco area we have a line 9 Rochester carburetor manual (specs and parts break down plus a Sun Distributor drive unit (no dwell or rpm gauges) we are in San Bruno Ca but we will not ship them $150 for Sun Unit no charge for the line 9 manual.


thanks Henry @ oles carb olescarb@gmail.com

Send info to Lars Grimsrud at V8FastCars@msn.com. His Sun distributor tester is 'down'.

I emailed Lars within an hour of OP posting

Lars replied right away & indicated he'd already been in touch and seems that SUN does Not have the necessary parts to fix his.

I was under the impression that this is a parts machine and it might?

Wonder what machine and or part Lars has a need for... I have a spare one here (yes I have two working machines in the shop, I know I'm nuts but my god they look cool)... My spare machine is a Sun machine made prior to 1953.... lol.. it's a 6 volt machine but can be converted I just keep it around in case something on my other machine breaks.

Paramount was a good source of parts when I refurbished my Sun distributor machine. They also sell restored ones.
