Source for Fuel Distributor Rebuilding?
As long as I'm doing so much other stuff on my engine, I think it would be a good time to get my fuel distributor calibrated and/or rebuilt. It's certainly not a very complicated mechanism, but it looks like special equipment is needed for the calibration. Can anyone recommend a source for this work?

Usually when the metering piston varnishes up, the piston gets sticky and the car won't run. Test it before you spend money for a rebuild that you may not need.
Disconnect the fuel line that runs from the center of the fuel distributor to the wur. Trigger the fuel pumps and measure the amount of fuel expelled over 1 minute. Spec is 160 cc - 245 cc but you want to be at 225-245 cc. If it meets, you just saved $500.
If you insist on a rebuild CIS Flowtech is a good source.
WURs tend to fail more than fuel distributors. Definitely have that rebuilt.
