I ended up getting it out by reattaching the dizzy to the car, using a phillips socket, and pressing down on the ratchet head.

From reports I read online, Distributor King went out of business years ago. One post said they had quality issues with their manufacturer in China and couldn't sell their distributors at the prices they wanted to.

I'll have rebuilt most of this dizzy once a couple more parts come in the mail. The only original parts in it will be the sensors and the rotor shaft. I read the bearings on the shaft can be replaced, if the spec can be bought, so that's something I might do further down the line.


I think that the bearing specs are 6001 / 12.46 PX1, and the part # might be 6001-2ZJ, though I'm not 100% certain of that. According to this post, it sounds like the person found a The 6001-2ZJ bearing in their B16 dizzy. The 6001-2ZJ bearing has a 12mm bore-hole, while the 6001 / 12.46 spec indicates a bore-hole of 12.46mm.

Here's a place in Canada that sells that bearing for $10: https://www.bearingscanada.com/6001-...ty-12x28x8.htm


Here's are a couple of guides showing how to replace the shaft bearings:

Without doing the bearing, it'll have cost me around $130 to replace the other parts. The aftermarket fully dizzy costs $72.something USD after shipping and import fees, so around $87.50 CND. Not sure fixing this one up was the best call, since that aftermarket one has a 10-year warranty. 10 years seems pretty ballsy for a $55 dizzy. None - 3 years is more the normal in the price range, though this $60 one also offers a 10-year warranty.




Here's a more expensive one that brags about its quality:

Notice how the others only offer a 90 day or 6 month warranty? And why you don't see allot of bad feedbacks? More than likely they'll last 90 days long enough for the eBay transaction to be gone, and long after feedbacks has been left. Don't be that person broken down on the side of the road wondering why you bought the CHEAPEST, and not the BEST.


Our proprietary electronics make our New Distributors not only uniquely superior to OEM specifications, but superior to any other product line on the market today.

The ignition modules installed are designed to exceed OEM specifications. Most OEM ignition modules will fail at temperatures above 260°, while ours have been developed to be certified to 302° F, this greatly reduces igniter failure. All of our ignition modules are made in North America.

Another cause of premature failure of remanufactured, or cheaper distributors is the quality of bearing used inside. We use only quality Japanese steel bearings in our distributors.

Our distributors are assembled in an ISO9001, ISO14001 & QS9000 certified factory and put through series of quality control tests before being carefully packaged.

I notice that they don't mention what they consider the "lifetime" of their unit to be in the auction listing, so I sent them a message because I'm interested to know.
