I finally convinced my self to buy an original square top for my bug so I bought a German rebuild from Bill. It came super fast and looks basically brand new. Great instructions via email too. Thanks!

Mr. Fowler sent me a beautifully restored distributor that works perfect. He also provided very clear instructions on setting the timing which I very much appreciated. My engine rebuild is complete and it runs great!
I am also grateful for his advice regarding the shepherd's hook for the vacuum advance. I had not heard of this but made sure to incorporate one on the engine I was rebuilding. The old engine I'm replacing didn't have this, and sure enough - I found the vacuum advance on its distributor was not working.

Thanks Mr. Fowler, look forward to doing business again soon!

All I can say is Bill is the best!! Great products. He helped me get the correct distributor for my Beetle and Pierburg fuel pump as well. He goes beyond normal customer service to make sure the customer is happy and the quality of his rebuilds is beyond compare. You get what you pay for...don't get the Chinese junk that is going to fail you 4 months down the road. Highly recommend!!!

Just bought a square top Pierburg Pump from William.
Very quick delivery and SUPERB QUALITY !
After I managed it around my Magna Spark Dizzy
(1/8" shaved on the corner of the Distributor)
I can throw away my pressure regulator, My 2332 seems to have come alive w consistent pressure, especially when screaming. The Brazil pump would fade in n out, then fail.

Any size motor needs one of these.

This pump is a work of art. WORTH THE EXTRA $

Sent Mr. Fowler my 1991 one owner, Vanagon Throttle body,I must say that I am disappointed that the photos that he posted online of his work does not do justice to his craftsmanship. If you want shoddy work do not send your equipment to Mr. Fowler he is the best of the best bar none. Thank you so much Mr. Bill Homewood

Watching a YouTube video and heard them mention Sparxwerks so looked to see if it was Bill and found this thread. I been tried to reach him 12 May and after a couple months, gave up and figured he had passed away, so did it myself (need to learn how to rebuild all three as their will soon be a day no one will be offering a rebuild service).

Glad to know Bill is still among the living, nice person who did me a huge favor a few years ago, which I of course still appreciate. Very Happy

Bill does it again! He rebuilt my Frankenstein distributor with all the correct parts and even set the points. It fired up perfect and after a timing adjust, the dwell was spot on. Thanks again Bill!

Nice work Bill!!

You should talk to him about replacing that aftermarket 009 with the correct vacuum/mechanical distributor.

I just received my big cap ZV/PAU 4R5 distributor and Pierburg dome top fuel pump from SparxWerks. As always, truly exceptional restorations. If your stock restoration plans call for original components, you won't find higher quality work or better performing assemblies anywhere else. As far as I'm concerned, if the ACVW community had a Mount Rushmore, Bill would most certainly be on it.

I can't say enough about the fantastic services Bill offers. He rebuilt a pierburg fuel pump for me and it looks amazing and works perfectly!

It was leaking due to the poor quality rebuild kit used. Bill uses nothing but the best quality parts.

It's so nice to NOT smell gas anymore and it makes the engine compartment look better.

Whatever you might want him to service is definitely in good hands. 5 stars for sure!
Thanks Bill!

Thanks Bill, for repairing my distributor, that I probably messed up., and broke the condenser ground wire. He completed the repair, set the points, cleaned it up so it looks new again and got it back to me in a timely manner. I highly recommend his service.

Absolutely delighted with the fuel pump and distributor. I could have purchased them from somewhere here in Europe but Bill's feedback speaks for itself.
Thank you.

Bought a rebuilt fuel pump from Bill. It arrived very quickly and looks just as good as promised. Also, Bill was immensely helpful in helping with my selection.

Thanks Bill! Smile
