Default Fuel distributor sadness

Well, as I was finishing off the list of items to replace/fix before getting my engine to run after rebuilding it, I thought (with all my infinite wisdom and knowledge) that I was going to rebuild the fuel distributor and WUR.

Well I bought a rebuild kit for both and it became very apparent to me, especially when I started putting stuff back together, that I have no idea what I’m doing.

I’ve decided, before I f**k anything up any worse, that I cannot rebuild the FD, it’s just not my area of expertise.

Seeing that rebuilt fuel distributors are incredibly expensive, is there anybody I could possibly send mine out to get rebuilt?

Flowtech does an excellent job, but if you can rebuild an engine, you can definitely do the FD and WUR.

There are several shops out there than can do a rebuild of both. I recommend contacting a user on the Pelican Parts forum that goes by the user name Boyt911SC. He is in Philly and can rebuild both the fuel distributor and warm up regulator. He recently did the Warm Up regulator for my '78 911SC. Quick turnaround and reasonably priced, even after I tried twice to do it right, unsuccessfully.
