Thank you Funky61.

I've been looking and wondering this same question.
I've got a 66 1500 with a 351E engine. It has been running terribly since I got it in December. My go to mechanic say that either the distributor is bad, or the
carburetor is. After looking at things, I have decided that the issue is the distributor.

The first thing I found was that the points system had been converted to a Pertronics Ignitor II. My first thought was that it had gone bad. I replaced it with a new Ignitor II, but the issue persists. It runs great at idle and up to about 2,000 rpm. I retimed it because the PO had the timing at something around 15 degrees. All that did was to get things down to a reasonable condition. I looked at the distributor again and found that the mechanical weights are not working correctly. I started to look for a rebuild kit for the distributor, as a 351E, and cannot find anything, anywhere. I thought perhaps that "what if a 305 distributor rebuild kit or complete distributor would work".

Your post here solves my problem if I can find a 305 distributor, or rebuild kit.

Thanks a lot for the information.

Mike
