Tim has rebuilt two of my distributors and they both work great. He has a wealth of knowledge about the Bosch distributor that he is willing to share. He is quick to answer an email and let me know when they would be done and when they shipped.
I would definitely work with him again. |

Tim responded to my wanted ad for big cap dust cover that I received today after years of searching. Thanks again, Tim! _________________ ,,Wenige Menschen denken, und doch wollen alle entscheiden.'' -der Alte Fritz

Lieber Tim,
ganz herzlichen Dank für Deine Hilfe! Der Einstellsatz für die Zündzeitpunktverstellkurve (what a term! I bet Google won't be able to translate this.) kam sehr schnell hier in Deutschland an. Alles lief sehr unkompliziert und es war mir eine große Freude mit Dir zu kommunizieren.
Liebe Grüße aus Hamburg

I just bought a 019 distributor from him. Transaction was quick, arrived at my house on the east coast in just a few days. He was very helpful with additional information and the distributor looks and works great.
Thanks man! _________________ All he needed was a wheel in his hand and four on the road.

Tim tested and restored my coil (although it apparently did not need any additional work), and painted it. His communication was very good, and the transaction was smooth and easy. I was not impressed by the paint job on the coil (I actually cleaned it again, myself, and needed to get it repainted), but I understand that was partially because the temperature in his work area. Overall, I would definitely consider purchasing from him again, as he seems like a good guy. _________________ -Harry

Bought a restored 113 905 205 M distributor from Tim some weeks ago, and finally installed it today. All went perfect, right out of the box!
I appreciate the time he took to share his knowledge and provide countless advice. Transaction went easy, with fast shipping to Canada.
A pleasure to work with, would use its services again without an hesitation!
Thank you Tim!

I bought a 010 from Tim a couple months ago stated as “ready to run”, I ran it for a month and had to adjust the gap twice after my engine quit both times. The rotor doesn’t fit well, is very loose and crooked, and the points block is wore down to the nub. I replaced it with my trusty old 009. Much better. I shoulda just waited until Glenn had some 010’s ready. _________________ 1972 Karmann Ghia |

First I've heard about your issues was here. If you would have contacted me about any dis-satisfaction I would have made it right. I'm sure even Glenn has issues with points and rotors on occasion just like all of us. _________________ Roads Scholar &

I just installed the big cap distributor that Tim rebuilt for me on my 40hp and it really improved how it is running. It looks brand new. Really fast turnaround time and great communication. Thanks Tim! |

Purchased a 205T distributor for my '70 Bay from Tim and couldn't be happier. great product and communication was always clear. Bus is running better than it ever did with the 009, I wish I had made the change earlier. Thanks again Tim! |
